(Wo-o-o-o! Wo-o-o-o! Wooo!)
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 (cry)
Wondering how can she work it out
Now she knows that the wages of sin is deathyeah!
Gift of Jah is life. (life)
She cried: Ah-umI - I know!
"Johnny was a good man" I - I know! (never did a thing wrong)
"Johnny was a goodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgoodgood

Wo-ooh! Woman hold her head and cry
As her son had been shot down in the street and died
Just because of the system. (system)

Woman hold her head and cry;
Comforting her I was passing by.
