Lyrics Johnny - Lucky Dube

Johnny was a good boy
According to his mother
But when she wasn't looking yeah
Johnny became a bad boy
He got into drugs yeah
Oh poor Johnny
One day he double-crossed
And it cost him his life
She couldn't believe it when she saw him lying on the ground, in a pool of blood yeah
Her only hope
Her only son she said
Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried and say Johnny Johnny
How can you do something like that to me Johnny
Oh she cried and said

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry
Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry cry

Her only hope her only boy
Lying on the ground in a pool of blood
She said Johnny remember
How I raised you boy?
You could have been a doctor
You could have been a teacher
Oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried and say Johnny Johnny
How can you do something like this to me Johnny, Johnny...

She said I took you to the best schools in the country boy
Spent my last dime on you Johnny
Thought you would be my shoulder to cry on Johnny

Her only boy her only son
Lying on the ground in a pool of blood
She couldn't hold back her tears oh Johnny
With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny Johnny, Johnny
How can you do something like that to me Johnny, Johnny, Johnny

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry
Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry cry

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
