Lyrics:
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, gave hope for tomorrow
Say Johnny, me boy, this one's for you
The strength of many with the courage of few
To what do we owe this man whose 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
He'd give you a job and 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 no longer
Others forgotten, your memory's 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
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 you, they don't like our kind
Though it starts with your 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
