lyrics

Some kid drowned in the river
Now, we’re digging a swimming hole
Yesterday, I played center field
I needed some half-innings alone
Doubled off the Buddhist minister
Knocked the tying run home
Minidoka
Bottom nine

2 - 0 count, a good lead off third
Toss me something fast and low
I dreamt I saw a model plane this morning
Flying past the boundary road
Caught the eye of able Grable
Sliding into second to beat the throw

Flurries started and I thought of the man
Who got lost from block 3 in the snow
Blanketed in white
Freezing in the night
Cursing and scared, feeling foolish, dying alone

Our first baseman got married
They rode an army truck out to Twin Falls
Spoke their vows in a hotel suite
As a busted pump organ wheezed through the walls
Little sister butchering the “Wedding March”
Some sweet comedy to it all
Minidoka dressed in white
Minidoka

Snow drifts bouncing the moonlight
As the evening took the afternoon
Deep in the count, staying alive
A thousand spectators, nothing better to do
“Under diamond cut stars, horizon to horizon
And a translucent milk-glass moon”
Minidoka
In the night

“Under diamond cut stars, horizon to horizon
And a translucent milk-glass moon”
Minidoka dressed in white
Minidoka
