The
Outlook
wasn't

for
the
Mudville
nine
that

:
The
score
stood
four

one
inning
more
to
play
.

Cooney

A

got
up
to

Clung
to
that
hope

They
thought
,
if
only
Casey
could
get
but
a

at

We'd
put
up
even
money
,
now
,
with
Casey
at

.
But
Flynn
preceded
Casey
,
as
did
also
Jimmy
Blake
,
And
the
former
was
a
lulu
and
the
latter
was
a
cake
;
that
stricken
multitude
grim
melancholy
sat
,
seemed
but
little
chance
of
Casey's
getting
to
the
bat
.

Then
from

and

there
rose
a

For

Casey

was
advancing

There
was
ease
in
Casey's
manner

he
stepped
into
his
place
;
There
was
pride
in

And
when
,

Then
while
the
writhing

ground
the

into

,
in
Casey's
eye
,
a

curled
Casey's

there
went
up

on

and

shore
.
"
Kill

He

But
Casey
still

,
and
the

,

"
"
Fraud
!
"
cried
the
maddened
thousands
,
and
echo
answered
fraud
;
But
one
look
from
Casey
and
the
audience
was
awed
.
They
saw
his
face
grow
stern
and
cold
,
they
saw
his
muscles
strain
,
And
they
knew
that
Casey
wouldn't
let
that
ball
go
by
again
.
The
sneer
is
gone
from
Casey's
,
his
teeth
are
in
hate
;
He
pounds
with
cruel
violence
his
bat
upon
the
plate
.
And
now
the
pitcher
holds
the
ball
,
and
now
he
lets
it
go
,
And
now
the
air
is
shattered
by
the
force
of
Casey's
blow
.
Oh
,
somewhere
in
this
favored
land
the
sun
is
shining
bright
;
The
band
is
playing
somewhere
,
and
somewhere
hearts
are
light
,
And
somewhere
men
are
laughing
,
and
somewhere
children
shout
;
But
there
is
no
joy
in
Mudville
-
mighty
Casey
has
struck
out
.
