Johnny Lyrics - Lucky Dube

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 son 

Her only hope yeah!! 

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 

Chorus: 

Oh Johnny you broke my heart 

Oh Johnny you made me 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 Johnny 

How can you do something 

Like this to me 

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 

Oh she cried
