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
Accompanying her was a passerby, who
Saw the woman cry
Wondering, can she work it out?
Now she knows that the wages of sin is death
The gift of God is life
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Johnny was a good man
Oh, yeah
Woman hold her head and cry
'Cause her son had been shot down in the street and died
Just because of the system
Woman hold her head and cry
Comforting her, I was passing by and I
I saw the woman cry
She cried, oh, oh
Oh, oh, Johnny was a good man
He never did a thing wrong, no
Take it down

He never hurt anybody, never started no bar room fight
Johnny never did nobody no wrong

On a top-floor flat in the middle of the night
There's a man with rifle and Johnny in his sight
I said oh no-no-no-no-no-no
We can't let that kind of thing happen here no more
Oh, no
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, yeah
A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said oh-oh
