Текст песни Boys On The Dock

- 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)
