Boys on the Docks

Lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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, gave hope for tomorrow Say Johnny, me boy, this one's for you The strength of many with the courage of few To what do we owe this man whose fight Was for the masses? He gave his life [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime He'd give you a job and 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 memory's stronger Let's drink to the causes in your life Your family, your friends, the union, your wife [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 you, they don't like our kind Though it starts with your fist, it must end with your mind" [Chorus] 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
