Johnny Was lyrics with English Translations
Woman hold her head and cried
From a stray bullet (bullet!)
A woman hold her head and cried
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 dead
The gift of Jah is life (life!)
She cried
Oh, oh, oh, aah Johnny was a good man (Johnny was a good man) Oh, oh, oh Never did a thing wrong (Never did a thing wrong) Oh, oh, oh, yeah Johnny was a good man (Johnny was a good man) She cried...
