    Lyrics
    (Wo-o-o-o! Wo-o-o-o! Wooo!)
    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;
    Explaining to her was a passerby
    Who saw the woman cry (cry)
    Wondering how can she work it out,
    Now she knows that the wages of sin is death, yeah!
    Gift of Jah is life. (life)
    She cried: Ah-um, I - I know!
    "Johnny was a good man," I - I know! (never did a thing wrong)
    "Johnny was a good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good,
    good, good, good man", (Johnny was good man)
    she cried - she crie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ied!
    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. (system)
    Woman hold her head and cry;
    Comforting her I was passing by.
    She complained, then she cry:
    Oh-ooh-wo-ah, cry (ah-ah), yeah, I know now (ah-ah),
    no I know, I know now: (Johnny was a good man)
    Said I know, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. (Never did a thing wrong)
    Ah! Ah! (Johnny was a good man)
    Can a woman tender care, she cried, (Never did a thing wrong)
    Cease towards the child she bear? (Johnny was a good man)
    Wo-ho-ho-ooh! Woman cry, woman - (Never did a thing wrong)
    She cried, wo-oh! She cried, yeah! (Johnny was a good man)
    Can a woman tender care
    Cease towards the child she bear? (Never did a thing wrong)
    Wo-now, cry! (Johnny was a good man)

    This is such an awesome version of this song. The slower tempo lends itself to the sorrowful story being told. I played the album version for my kids (8&9) yesterday and was choking up explaining what it was about and why Bob was such an important messenger of peace and equality for the world. Big up Bob Marley

    I did know Bob and his🇯🇲family, from 1980, and this song is an exception to the rule.
    I recall first time examining this 🚩tune, and I adore it to this day. It is the theme song to our feelings💦 about, a loss of life, un🎯 necessarily. I love his sentiment, from the album, whe he seh, “can a woman tend to care, she still wants the child she bear.”💜👈🏽🙏🏾

    Johnny Was
    A mulher coloca a mão na cabeça e chora
    Porque seu filho foi baleado nas ruas e morreu
    Por uma bala perdida
    A mulher coloca a mão na cabeça e chora
    Explica para ela era um passante
    Quem viu a mulher chorar
    Querendo saber como ela pode trabalhar fora
    Agora ela sabe que o salário do pecado é a morte
    O dom de Deus é a vida
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Johnny era um bom homem
    Oh Yeah
    A mulher coloca a mão na cabeça e chora
    Porque seu filho foi baleado nas ruas e morreu
    por causa do sistema
    A mulher coloca a mão na cabeça e chora
    Confortante dela eu estava passando por ali
    E vi a mulher chorar
    Ela chora, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Johnny era um bom homem
    Nunca fez uma coisa errada
    presa abaixo
    Johnny saiu em um sábado à noite
    Nunca machucou ninguém, nunca começou uma briga no salão
    Johnny nunca fez nada de errado
    Nunca machucou ninguém, nunca machucou ninguém
    Johnny era um bom homem
    Johnny, Johnny, Johnny ...
    Johnny era um bom homem
    (Repeti)
    Em um piso superior plana no meio da noite
    Há um homem com o rifle e Johnny na sua visão,
    Eu disse oh não, não podemos deixar que esse tipo de coisa acontecer aqui não
    Ah, não
    Johnny, Johnny, Johnny ...
    Um único tiro argolas para fora num Campanário noite e eu disse oh
    Johnny era um bom homem
    Uma mulher pode cuidar do concurso
    Cesse a criança para que ela assuma
    Johnny.
    Johnny Was
    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 passer-by
    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 saw the woman cry
    She cried, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Johnny was a good man
    Never did a thing wrong
    Take it down
    Johnny went out on a Saturday night
    Never hurt anybody never started no bar room fight
    Johnny never did nobody no wrong
    Never hurt anybody never hurt anybody
    Johnny was a good man
    Johnny, Johnny, Johnny...
    Johnny was a good man
    (Repeat)
    In 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, we can't let that kind of thing happen here no more
    Oh no
    Johnny, Johnny, Johnny...
    A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said oh
    Johnny was a good man
    Can a woman's tender care
    Cease towards the child she bears
    Johnny (Repeat)
