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 me 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)
