Together we are what we can't be alone

This man so humble, this man so brave

In a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow

With the strength of many and the courage of few

A friend to the locals who dabbled in crime
C G
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

Let's drink to the causes in your life

Your family, your friends, the union, your wife

And the boys on the docks needed John for sure
C G
When they came to this country he opened the door
C G
He said, "Men I'll tell ya, they don't like our kind"
D G
Though it starts with a fist it must end with your mind
