(wo-o-o-o! wo-o-o-o! wooo!)

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;

Explaining to her was a passerby

Who saw the woman cry (cry)

Wondering how can she work it out

Now she knows that the wages of sin is death yeah!

Gift of jah is life. (life)

She cried: ah-um i - i know!

"johnny was a good man" i - i know! (never did a thing wrong)

"johnny was a good good good good good good good good

Good good good man" (johnny was good man)

She cried - she crie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ied!

Wo-ooh! woman hold her head and cry

As her son had been shot down in the street and died

Just because of the system. (system)

Woman hold her head and cry;

Comforting her i was passing by.

She complained then she cry:

Oh-ooh-wo-ah cry (ah-ah) yeah i know now (ah-ah)

No i know i know now: (johnny was a good man)

Said i know mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. (never did a thing wrong)

Ah! ah! (johnny was a good man)

Can a woman tender care she cried (never did a thing wrong)

Cease towards the child she bear? (johnny was a good man)

Wo-ho-ho-ooh! woman cry woman - (never did a thing wrong)

She cried wo-oh! she cried yeah! (johnny was a good man)

Can a woman tender care

Cease towards the child she bear? (never did a thing wrong)

Wo-now cry! (johnny was a good man)
