Lucky Dube - Johnny

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 and said Johnny, Johnny
How can you do something
Like that to me, Johnny
Oh she cried and said

Oh, Johnny, you broke my heart
Oh, Johnny, you made me 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 Johnny, Johnny
How can you do something like this to me

(..)

She said I took you
T 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

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
