Johnny Mahoe |
| Listen to the story of Johnny Mahoe |
| Pride of the hometown, number one school boy |
| Never got in trouble, always kept his nose clean |
| So when the news hit the town, nobody could believe |
| what happened to Johnny Mahoe |
| You see Johnny started hanging with the neighborhood thugs |
| Boys wearing colors, the ones dealing drugs |
| Initiaiton’s over, Johnny’s part of the gang |
| Fighting for his colors, playing with his bang bang |
| Johnny Mahoe |
| CHORUS: |
| Why hang around with the wrong crowd |
| Why let them poison your mind |
| It’s okay, it’s okay, turn and walk the other way |
| You don’t want to end up like Johnny Johnny |
| Johnny Mahoe |
| One day there was a clash between the blue and the red |
| When the fighting was over, Johnny lay dead |
| A single rose stands alone upon Jonny’s grave |
| Think nothing would have happened |
| If Johnny Mahoe just turned and |
| walked the other way |
| Just walked the other way |
| SOLO |
| CHORUS |
