Dropkick Murphys - Boys on the Dock 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 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 ma**es He gave his life (Chorus) 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 (Chorus) 2x 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." (Chorus)
