Whicha Way Did It Go by Pops Staples Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ball three and two, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
You got to pitch across the plate or let it drop in the dirt
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
Ain't got no time to think
'Cause you're facing the mighty Hank
The ball is all y'all is waiting for
You know the ball is all the mighty Hank is waiting for
Yeah
[Verse 2]
South paw, or your mother, lord
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
At the home of the Braves, at Atlanta, GA
What you gonna do? What you gonna do? (It's a bad city, too)
Call your whole pitching staff
If you think that's where it's at
The ball is all y'all is waiting for
You know the ball is all the mighty Hank is waiting for
[Bridge]
Somebody help me
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go?
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go?
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go?
[Verse 3]
He walked to the plate like nothing to it
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
Well I shook my head, said "I wonder, can he do it?"
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
Well he hit that ball, and everybody screamed
Hank done hit 715
What did he do, y'all? Broke the record, that's all
What did he do, y'all? Broke the record, that's all
[Outro]
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go?
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (Somebody tell me)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go?
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, hey, that lost ball)
Whicha way, whicha way, whicha way did it go? (That ball, that ball...)
Ball three and two, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
You got to pitch across the plate or let it drop in the dirt

Ain't got no time to think
'Cause you're facing the mighty Hank
The ball is all y'all is waiting for
You know the ball is all the mighty Hank is waiting for
