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
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 boy, you live hear no longer
Others forgotten, your memories stronger
Let's drink to the causes in your life
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife
no guitar)
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
