lyrics

If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
The docks were at a standstill
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
The docks were at a standstill

His mother was of Irish stock
His dad and granddad worked the dock
To hear him speak the men would flock
Harry was no traitor

Every docker filled with pride
When they had Harry on their side
In London or in Merseyside
No honour could be greater

The bosses broke into a sweat
This Harry is an awful threat
When you're hiring don't forget
Leave Harry in the pen

If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
The docks were at a standstill

They were smart in how they fought
They waited first until the port
Was crammed with cargo to import
Then demanded Harry

Did you think we'd go ahead
And take your coin and bow our head
As you rob our brother of his bread
You'd be better bring back Harry

The bosses knew they must agree
Their game was up and they could see
There's no beating unity
All because they said

If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
The docks were at a standstill
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
If Harry don't go then I don't go
The docks were at a standstill
