Boys on the Docks

Say hey Johnny Boy, The battle call

United we stand, Divided we fall

Together we are what we can't be alone

We came to this country you made it our home.

This man so humble, this man so brave

A legend to many, he fought to his grave

Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror

In a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow.

Say Johnny Me Boy, This ones for you

With the strength of many and the courage of few

To what do we owe this man who's fight

Was for the masses, he gave his life.

Say hey Johnny Boy, The battle call

United we stand, Divided we fall

Together we are what we can't be alone

We came to this country you made it our home.

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime

He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time

He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned

John knew the difference between right and wrong

Say Johnny Me Boy, You live no longer

Others forgotten, your memories stronger

Lets drink to the causes in your life.

Your family, your friends, the union, your wife.

Say hey Johnny Boy, The battle call

United we stand, Divided we fall

Together we are what we can't be alone

We came to this country you made it our home.

Say hey Johnny Boy, The battle call

United we stand, Divided we fall

Together we are what we can't be alone

We came to this country you made it our home.

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure

When they came to this country he opened the door

He said men I'll tell ya, They don't like our kind

Though it starts with a fist, it must end with your mind.

Say hey Johnny Boy, The battle call

United we stand, Divided we fall

Together we are what we can't be alone

We came to this country you made it our home.
