Bunny Wailer - Johnny Too Bad lyrics

rate me

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,).
