Boys On The Dock |
| «Dedicated to the memory of John Kelly» |
| 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 boy this ones 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 John knew the |
| difference between right and wrong Say johnny me boy, you live hear no longer |
| Others forgotten, your memories stronger Lets drink to the causes in your life |
| Your family, your friends, the union, your wife |
| (chorus) |
| And 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 ya they don’t like our kind Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind |
| (chorus) |
