Listen to the story of Johnny Mahoe
|
Pride of the hometown, number one school boy
|
Never got in trouble, always kept his nose clean
|
So when the news hit the town, nobody could believe
|
what happened to Johnny Mahoe
|
|
You see Johnny started hanging with the neighborhood thugs
|
Boys wearing colors, the ones dealing drugs
|
Initiaiton's over, Johnny's part of the gang
|
Fighting for his colors, playing with his bang bang
|

|
[CHORUS]
|
Why hang around with the wrong crowd
|
Why let them poison your mind
|
It's okay, it's okay, turn and walk the other way
|
You don't want to end up like Johnny Johnny
|
Johnny Mahoe
|
|
One day there was a clash between the blue and the red
|
When the fighting was over, Johnny lay dead
|
A single rose stands alone upon Johnny's grave
|
Think nothing would have happened
|
If Johnny Mahoe just turned and
|
walked the other way
|
Just walked the other way
|
|
[SOLO]
