Boys on the Dock

(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 masses

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)
