(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 diedFrom a stray bullet.Woman hold her head and cry;Explaining to her was a passerbyWho 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!

(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.
