Woman hold her head and cry |
|
Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died |
|
From a stray bullet |
|
Woman hold her head and cry |
|
Accompanying her was a passerby |
|
Who saw the woman cry |
|
Wondering can she work it out |
|
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death |
|
The gift of |
|
God is life |
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
|
Johnny was a good manoh yeah |
|
Woman hold her head and cry |
|
Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died |
|
Just because of the system |
|
Woman hold her head and cry |
|
Comforting her |
|
I was passing by |
|
And I saw the woman cry |
|
She cried, oh, oh, oh, oh |
|
Johnny was a good man |
|
Never did a thing wrong |
|
Take it down |
|
Johnny went out on a |
|
Saturday night |
|
Never hurt anybody never started no bar room fight |
|
Johnny never did nobody no wrong |
|
Never hurt anybody never hurt anybody |
|
Johnny was a good man |
|
Johnny, Johnny, |
|
Johnny...Johnny was a good man(Repeat) |
|
In a top floor flat in the middle of the night |
|
There's a man with rifle and |
|
Johnny in his sight, |
|
I said oh no, we can't let that kind of thing happen here no more |
|
Oh noJohnny, |
|
Johnny, Johnny... |
|
A single shot rings out in a |
|
Belfast night and |
|
I said ohJohnny was a good man |
|
Can a woman's tender care |
|
Cease towards the child she bears |
|
Johnny (Repeat) |
