From "Like Father Like Son", the debut album by Ky-Mani Marley released on August 2, 1996
Lyrics:
Woman hold her head and cry,
'Cause her son has 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
Wondering how can she work it out,
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death
Gift of Jah is life, is life.
Johnny was a good man,
Johnny was a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
good, good, good, Johnny was... she cried - she cried!
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, the system...
Woman hold her head and cry;
Comforting her I was just passing by.
She complained, then she cry:
Ooh she cried, I know you know, I know you know, i know you know,
Johnny was a good man, Johnny was a good man...
Johnny was a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
good, good, good, Johnny was... she cried - she cried!
