boys on the docks

Singer:dropkick murphys

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

was for the masses

he gave his life. 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. 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 no longer

your friends

the union

your wife. 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. and the boys on the docks needed john for sure. when they came to this country he opened the door. he said man i'll tell ya
