Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Johnny Mahoe lyrics

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 d** Initiaiton's over, Johnny's part of the gang Fighting for his colors, playing with his bang bang Johnny Mahoe [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] [CHORUS]
