Woman hold her head and cryCause her son had been shot down in the street and diedFrom a stray bulletWoman hold her head and cryAccompanying her was a passerbyWho saw the woman cryWondering can she work it outNow she knows that the wages of sin is deathThe gift of God is lifeOh, oh, oh, ohJohnny was a good manoh yeahWoman hold her head and cryCause her son had been shot down in the street and diedJust because of the systemWoman hold her head and cryComforting her I was passing byAnd I saw the woman cryShe cried, oh, oh, oh, ohJohnny was a good manNever did a thing wrongTake it downJohnny went out on a Saturday nightNever hurt anybody never started no bar room fightJohnny never did nobody no wrongNever hurt anybody never hurt anybodyJohnny was a good manJohnny, Johnny, Johnny...Johnny was a good man[Repeat]In a top floor flat in the middle of the nightThere'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 moreOh noJohnny, Johnny, Johnny...A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said ohJohnny was a good manCan a woman's tender careCease towards the child she bearsJohnny [Repeat]
