Boys On The Dock Lyrics

- Lyrics: Casey, Music: Barton -



"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)
