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 ow 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 memory's stronger

lets drink to the causes in your life

your family, your friends, the union, your wife

(chorus) 2x

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
