Lucky Dube - Johnny Lyrics

Johnny was a good boy
According to his mother
But when she wasn't looking yeah
Johnny became a bad boy
He got into drugs yeah
Oh poor Johnny
One day he double-crossed
And it cost him his life
She couldn't believe it
When she saw him lying on the ground
In a pool of blood yeah
Her only hope
Her only son she said
Oh Johnny

With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny Johnny
How can you do something like that to me
Oh she cried and said oh Johnny

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry
Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry cry

Her only hope
Her only boy
Lying on the ground
In a pool of blood
She said Johnny remember
How I raised you boy
You could have been a doctor
You could have been a teacher
Oh Johnny

With her hands above her head
She cried and said Johnny Johnny
How can you do something like this to me Johnny Johnny Johnny

She said I took you to the best schools
In the country boy
Spent my last dime on you
Johnny
Thought you would be my shoulder
To cry on Johnny
Her only boy
Her only son
Lying on the ground
In a pool of blood
She couldn't hold back
Her tears
Oh Johnny

With her hands above her head
She cried Johnny Johnny
How can you do something like that to me
Johnny Johnny Johnny

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry
Oh Johnny you broke my heart
Oh Johnny you made me cry cry cry

Oh Johnny you broke my heart
