| 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 |
