Others forgotten, your memory's stronger
Say Johnny, the boy, this one's for you
We came to this country and made it our home
Say Johnny me boy, you live no longer
In the land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow
A legend to many, he fought to his grave
He wasn't a crook but he couldn't be conned
United we stand, divided we fall
John knew the difference between right and wrong
He gave his life
He'd give you a job and he'd give you his time
United we stand, divided we fall
The strength of many but the courage of the few
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
Lets drink to the causes in your life
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
To what do we owe this man who's fight was for the masses
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
Your family, your friends, the union, your wife
Together we are what we can't be alone
We came to this country, you made it our home
Saved friends and family from the hardship and horror
A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime
Together we are what we can't be alone
We came to this country, you made it our home
And the boys on the docks needed John for sure
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind"
Together we are what we can't be alone
When they came to this country he opened the door
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
United we stand, divided we fall
Together we are what we can't be alone
He said, "Man I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind
This man so humble and this man so brave
United we stand and divided we fall
Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call
