Boys on the docks

(x3) 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 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 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 boy, you live hear no longer Others forgotten, your memories 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 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 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

Cette chanson évoque l'idée de camaraderie et de solidarité, en rendant hommage à un homme nommé Johnny, qui a marqué ses proches par son courage et sa détermination. Il a su unir les gens autour de lui, leur offrant un refuge alors qu'ils faisaient face à l'adversité ensemble. Johnny représente une figure emblématique, un défenseur des opprimés et un soutien inconditionnel pour sa communauté, cherchant toujours à faire le bien, même dans des circonstances difficiles. Le contexte de cette œuvre se situe probablement dans une période d'immigration ou de lutte pour la dignité et le respect des droits des travailleurs. Le texte souligne l’importance des liens entre les gens lorsqu'ils font face à des défis, rappelant que l'union est essentielle pour surmonter les obstacles.
