Boys on the Docks - Live

Lyrics for Boys on the Docks - Live

Boys on the docks 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 and made it our home This man so humble and this man so brave A legend to many, he fought to his grave Saved friends and family from the hardship and horror In the land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow Say Johnny, the boy, this one's for you The strength of many but the courage of the few To what do we owe this man who's fight was for the masses He gave his life Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call United we stand and 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 Others forgotten, your memory's stronger Lets drink to the causes in your life Your family, 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 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, they don't like our kind Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind" 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
