Dropkick Murphys - Boston Asphalt lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - Boston Asphalt lyrics]
Black forties could afford them
Came these ever-proud world-renowned rowdy
Roving men with a firmness and a purpose
That so many did dismiss
Sailed these huddled human ballasts on
Their stinking coffin ships
From the prison of their lonely hearts
They labored long and hard
A poor needy down trodden rough and ready sod
Working 18 hour days for the BAC
Intelligent, respectable
But made of modest means
With an independent spirit
So full of hopes and dreams
Opportunity denied them in a
Doomed and starving land
Came these openhearted kindly spirit's of
A truly threatened man
