The Hand Of John L. Sullivan

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

A fighter till the end, legend he will be

And if any man should ask, if any man could carry

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

You may be tough, but you'll never knock him down

He is a towering god but not our sacred cow

He maybe caught, but never on the ropes

He is a diamond cut for every man poor man's hope

He was always glad to meet ya, he's the champion of the people

The first and last name ever to be spoke

Now I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

A fighter till the end, legend he will be

And if any man should ask, if any man could carry

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

The hand of glove and nothing more shall be

He is the struggle in this shame for all to see

Ah, he was always glad to meet ya, he's the champion of the people

The first and last name ever to be spoke

Now I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

A fighter till the end, legend he will be

And if any man should ask, if any man could carry

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

Come gather yourself, drink to your health

It's the one thing that money can't buy

But remember the loss to the loved ones we all leave behind

So pass the glass the over, Sullivan just ordered, the glory days have returned

And let's live the good life, until the last goodbye

You may be tough, but you'll never knock him down

He is a towering god but not our sacred cow

He was always glad to meet ya, he's the champion of the people

The first and last name ever to be spoke

Now I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

A fighter till the end, legend he will be

And if any man should ask, if any man could carry

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan

A fighter till the end, legend he will be

And if any man should ask, Jim Casey is my name

Now I am the man with the plan to shake the hand of John L. Sullivan
