Dropkick Murphys Blood and Whiskey song lyrics

Urban legend and American folklore

Tells of a man who was one of a kind

A sure legend 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

Be 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 his bare knuckled fist

With his fist, he shook the world

With his fist, he shook the world

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with his bare knuckled fist

Shake the hand that shook the world

For blood and whiskey with his bare knuckled fist
