Lyrics:

urban legend and american foldlore, tells of a man who was one of a kind a sure gent with a flair for fashion, prone to violence at any time a legendary hooligan with a thirst for blood and a taste for booze this brave and daring brutal soul, he lived and fought by his own rules shake the hand that shook the world shoe-shine boy to champion, he'd fought and beaten many foes his calling card was a kick to the groin, and a broken bottle to the bridge of the nose he aimed to kill when he took to the ring, this boston strong boy loved to fight on more than one occasion, a bout was stopped to save an opponent's life shake the hand that shook the world for blood and whiskey with a bareknuckled fist
