Lyrics
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 Wondering how can she work it out Now she knows that the wages of sin is death The gift of Jah is life She cried Oh, oh, all-la I know Johnny was a good man Ah-la I know Johnny was a good, good, good, good man She cried, She cried Woman hold her head and cry As 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 She complained, then she cried Whoa-oh, oh, ah Yeah, I know now (Johnny was a good man) Said I know (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) Oh, woman cried Woman, she cried, oh, she cried, yeah Can a woman tender care Cease towards the child she bears Woman cry
