*** Boys On The Dock ***
"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 legand 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 johney 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 johney me boy, you live hear no
longer
Others forgotton, your memory's 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)
