Urban legend and American folklore, Tells of a man who was one of a kind A sure gent with a flair for fashion, prone to violence at any time A legendary hooligan with a thirst for blood and a taste for booze This brave and daring brutal soul, he lived and fought by his own rules
Shake the hand that shook the world
Shoe-shine boy to champion, he'd fought and beaten many foes His calling card was a kick to the groin, and a broken bottle to the bridge of the nose He aimed to kill when he took to the ring, this Boston strong boy loved to fight On more than one occasion, a bout was stopped to save an opponents life
Shake the hand that shook the world For Blood and Whiskey with a bare knuckled fist
