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 hey Johnny, this one's for you With the strength of many and the courage of a 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, 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 Be'd give you a job and he'd give you his time Be 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 Other's forgotten, your memories stronger Let's 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 Be said men 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
