Bob Marley & The Wailers - Johnny Was (Alternate Mix) Lyrics

Lyrics Johnny Was (Alternate Mix) - The Wailers , Bob Marley



Woman hold her head and cry
'Cause her son had been shot down
In the street and died
From a stray bullet (bullet)
Woman hold her head and cry
Explaining to her was a passer-by
Who saw the woman cry (cry)
Wondering how can she work it out
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death
Gift of Jah is life (life)
She cried
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Johnny was a good man
Johnny was a good, good, good (never did anything wrong)
Good, good, good, good, good
Good, good, good man (Johnny was a good man)
Keep cryin', she cried
Woman hold her head and cry
'Cause 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 cried (cried)
Woah-oh, ah (ah)
Yeah I know now, I know, I know
I know now (Johnny was a good man)
Said I know, uh (never did a thing wrong)
Ush-ush, ush-uh (Johnny was a good man)
Can a woman's tender care
She cried (never did a thing wrong)
Cease towards the child she bears (Johnny was a good man)
Woman cried, woman
She cry, oh (never did a thing wrong)
She cry, yeah (Johnny was a good man)
And a woman's tender care (never did anything wrong)
Cease towards the child she bears
