Johnny Was |
Woman hold her head and cried |
'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died |
From the stray bullet |
A woman hold her head and cried |
Explaining to her was a passer by who |
Saw the woman cry |
Wondering |
How can she work it out? |
Now she knows that the wagers of sin is dead |
Her gift of love is life |
She cried |
Oh, Johnny was a good man |
Never did a thing wrong |
Johnny was a good man |
She cried |
Woman hold her head and cried |
'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died |
From the same system |
A woman hold her head and cried |
Comforting her, I was passing by |
She complained and then she fight |
She cried |
(Oh, Johnny was a good man) |
Can the woman turned to |
(Never did a thing wrong) |
She’s the one that caught the |
Someone is guilty |
Johnny been shot down in the streets |
All because of the system |
What good is it? |
What good is it? |
Johnny was, Johnny, Johnny was |
Mama cries, she cries |
Johnny was a good man |
They killed her child, it’s like |
They killed her child, it’s like |
She cried |
Johnny was a good man |
Never did a thing wrong |
Johnny was a good man |
Woman hold her head and cried |
'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died |
From the same system |
A woman hold her head and cried |
Comforting her, I was passing by |
She complained and then she fight |
She cried |
(Oh, Johnny was a good man) |
Can the woman turned to |
(Never did a thing wrong) |
She’s the one that caught the |
Someone is guilty |
Johnny been shot down in the streets |
All because of the system |
What good is it? |
What good is it? |
Johnny was, Johnny, Johnny was |
Mama cries, she cries |
Johnny was a good man |
They killed her child, it’s like |
They killed her child, it’s like |
She cried |
Johnny was a good man |
Never did a thing wrong |
Johnny was a good man |
