Oh My Darling, Colin's Time

The San Francisco 49ers are named after the men who participated in the gold rush of 1849 in the Sierra Nevada mountains east of San Francisco.

"Oh My Darling, Clementine" is a ballad about the daughter of a miner who participated in that same gold rush.

It's time for these two facts to meet.

And so I give you "Oh My Darling, Colin's Time"

In a big dome, in Atlanta

Awaiting their next time to shine

A team the "experts" say will lose

Whispers "now, it's Colin's time."

CHORUS:

Oh my darling, oh my darling,

Oh my darling, Colin's time

The clock is ticking, fingers itching

Just two days 'til Colin's time.   

He can run and he can throw

All say he's the next in line

But all great stories have an ending

Lance then Manti, now Colin's time.

CHORUS

They've picked Peyton and blanked Eli

And caused Cam to moan and whine

Stopped Drew Brees' touchdown streak

And folks now it's Colin's time.

CHORUS

All the pundits and the writers

Say this man is just sublime

Can't be stopped, his team so hot

But guess what, it's Colin's time.

CHORUS

They said all the same things last week

If I only had a dime

For each slight of the Birds' game

Oh who cares, it's Colin's time. 

CHORUS

Hey guys do me one big favor

Go ask Russ what's more sublime

Losing within 30 seconds or

Knowing now it's Colin's time.

CHORUS

C-Nick might I make a call here:

Your next tat will be the grime

Of the turf you eat all day

That's Spoon, this is Colin's time.

CHORUS

Curtains closing, hot streak's ending

Grab a bud, add a lime

You're about to meet the Falcons

So Rise Up, it's Colin's time.
