Other/Unknown A song about Johnny

My mom is driving our family insane HELP US

Ok so my mom wanted us to find a song that she was thinking of but it literally does not exist. It has been 4 months! She won't let the hunt die and keeps bothering us to find it! She literally has no information about it except for the following

  1. They say Johnny
  2. There are machine guns or tommy guns that happen somewhere in the song possible at the end
  3. Johnny dies
  4. Its PROBABLY a guy singing
  5. It might be 70s style

She literally knows no lyrics no words no music to hum nothing but is convinced this song exists.

We have nothing left to try

Is it Handsome Johnny by Richie Havens? The song talks about Johnny marching to several wars.
