Carlos Cardoso Was a Good Man

Johnny Was
Bob Marley
Composição: Rita Marley

Woman hold her head and cryCause her son had been shot down in the street and diedFrom a stray bullet

Woman hold her head and cryExplaining to her was a passer-byWho saw the woman cry

Wondering can she work it outNow she knows that the wages of sin is deathThe gift of God is life

Oh, oh, oh, ohJohnny was a good manoh yeah

Woman hold her head and cryCause her son had been shot down in the street and diedJust because of the system

Woman hold her head and cryComforting her I was passing byAnd I saw the woman cry

She cried, oh, oh, oh, ohJohnny was a good manNever did a thing wrong

Take it down

Johnny went out on a Saturday nightNever hurt anybody never started no bar room fight
Johnny never did nobody no wrongNever hurt anybody never hurt anybody
Johnny was a good manJohnny, Johnny, Johnny...
Johnny was a good man(Repeat)

In a top floor flat in the middle of the nightThere's a man with rifle and Johnny in his sight,I said oh no, we can't let that kind of thing happen here nomore
Oh noJohnny, Johnny, Johnny...

A single shot rings out in a Belfast night and I said ohJohnny was a good man

Can a woman's tender careCease towards the child she bears

Johnny (Repeat)

Hi, actually he was a good man. Unfortunately, as you know, the african brains I likely to be silenced.

We have lost a man that could be contributing for the country´s development in his field, but....he was short dead, for asking important questions to improve the fight against theft/corruption.
