[Dropkick Murphys - Boys on the Dock lyrics]
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 one's 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
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
Jon knew the difference between
Right and wrong say Johnny me boy
You live here 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
And the boys on the docks needed Jon 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 your fist
It must end with your mind"
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 one's 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
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
Jon knew the difference between
Right and wrong say Johnny me boy
You live here 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
And the boys on the docks needed Jon 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 your fist
It must end with your mind"
