Lyrics of Frankie & Johnny - Fred Buscaglione

Frankie & Johnny (original)

Frankie and Johnny the Memphis
sono la coppia ideal,
Frankie ragazza di fuoco
in amore non ha l’egual
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
Ma Johnny incontra una pupa
che innamorare lo fa
e di nascosto da Frankie
il suo tenero amore gli da
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
Frankie cercando il suo Johnny
scopre la triste realtà
compra una bella pistola
e da quel traditore va
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
Frankie and Johnny the Memphis
sono la coppia ideal,
lui sotto un metro di terra
lei in prigione che piange ancor
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
Frankie cercando il suo Johnny
scopre la triste realtà
compra una bella pistola
e da quel traditore va
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
Frankie and Johnny the Memphis
sono la coppia ideal,
lui sotto un metro di terra
lei in prigione che piange ancor
e Johnny Roy era un famoso «big boy».
