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 |
