"Blood And Whiskey" lyrics - DROPKICK MURPHYS

Urban legend and American folklore
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 bare knuckled fist
