Frankie and Johnny |
| Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts, oh Lord how they did love |
| Swore to be true to each other, true as the stars above |
| He was her man, he wouldn’t do her wrong |
| Frankie went down to the corner, just for a bucket of beer |
| She says, Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been here |
| He’s my man, he wouldn’t do me wrong |
| I don’t want cause you no trouble, I ain’t gonna tell you no lie |
| I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie Bligh |
| He was your man, but he’s doing you wrong |
| Frankie looked over the transom, she saw to her surprise |
| There on a cot sat Johnny, making love to Nellie Bligh |
| He is my man, and he’s doing me wrong |
| Frankie drew back her kimono, she took out a little 44 |
| Rooty toot toot, three times she shot, right through that hardwood door |
| Shot her man, he was doing her wrong |
| Bring out the rubber tied buggy, bring out the rubber tied hack |
| I’m taking my man to the graveyard, but I ain’t gonna bring him back |
| Lord, he was my man, and he done me wrong |
| Bring out a thousand policemen, bring 'em around today |
| To lock me down in the dungeon cell, and throw that key away |
| I shot my man, he was doing me wrong |
| Frankie she said to the warden what are they going to do |
| The warden he said to Frankie, it’s electric chair for you |
| Cause you shot your man, he was doing you wrong |
| This story has no moral, this story has no end |
| This story just goes to show, that there ain’t no good in men |
| He was her man, and he done her wrong |
