Steve Earl covered this song , reggae style, on an album sometime in the last 10 years (helpfull?)
opening line is all i can remember:

"walkin' down the road with a ratchet in your hand"
"Johnny too bad - Johnny too bad"

Anyone know the lyrics??

Gomez on Morty's pc (shhhh!)

Mrrzy, yes it was. I can't remember who did it, though - maybe Toots and the Maytals?
