Verses:
Katie Casey was baseball mad,
Had the fever and had it bad;
Just to root for the home town crew, ev'ry cent Katie spent.
On a Saturday, her young beau called to see if she'd like to go,
To see a show but Miss Kate said "no, I'll tell you what you can do:"
Katie Casey saw all the games, Knew the players by their first names;
Told the umpire he was wrong, all along good and strong
When the score was just two to two, Katie Casey knew what to do,
Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song:

Chaski: Flute + harp + a world full of music. In a nod to their namesakes, those relay-running, message-delivering Andean chaskis, Chaski takes flute/harp repertoire on far-flung journeys: Bolivian huayños, Scottish strathspeys, Texas honky-tonk, and 17th century Playford dance tunes, to name a few. With live concerts, videos, and albums, Chaski voices an irresistibly eclectic musical style.
