Johnny Too Bad Lyrics - Singles - Bunny Wailer

Johnny was grown in a twisted broken down one room shack in-a the ghetto 

The going was tough and the ditch of survival was getting steep in-a the ghetto 

It was robbing and stabbing and 

Looting and a shooting and its too bad 

It was just robbing and stabbing and 

And a shooting and its too bad (rep.) 

Johnny grew tough, and his task of survival was to plunder in-a the ghetto 

Johnny never lost no fight and he never never stoop to conquer Johnny you too bad 

You just a robbing and stabbing a 

Looting and a shooting and you too bad, too bad 

You just a robbing and stabbing 

Looting and a shooting and you sad. (rep.) 

Now you walking down the road with a shotgun in your waist 

Johnny you too bad. 

Johnny was so smart that he never caught in a cop chase 

Johnny you too bad. 

Hey little wild one a beg you throw 

Away you shot-gun Johnny you too bad. 

What you gonna do when you hear 

A voice say son, who you gonna run to. 

You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting and you to bad, too bad 

You just a robbing and stabbing looting and a shooting and you to sad. (rep.) 

As smart as Johnny was strong he 

Was tricked trapped cornered and 

Shot down ina the ghetto 

Now all Johnny left behind is a 

Struggling woman and two sons. 

In-a the ghetto. 

You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting and you too bad, too bad 

You just a robbing and stabbing a looting and a shooting you too 

Poor Johnny, Johnny you too bad 

Poor Johnny, Johnny you too sad 

Poor Johnny, Johnny you too bad 

Poor Johnny, Johnny you too sad. 

Some say big bad Johnny had a good inside Johnny was a good one 

big bad Johnny had a good inside tho he was a wild one 

Big bad Johnny had a good inside 

He would give to the weak what he 

robbing and stabbing and 

Big bad Johnny had a good inside 

He was a strong one. (rep,).
