Frankie and Johnny Lyrics
Frankie and Johnny - Jimmie Rodgers
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh Lordy how they Did love
Swore to be true to each other
True as the stars above
He was her man
He was doing 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 was doing 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 is your man
And he's doing you wrong
Frankie looked over in transom
She saw to her susrprice
There on the cab sat Johnny
Making love to Nellie Blie
He is my man
And he's doing me wrong
Frankie drew back to her kimona
She took out a little 44
Rutty tooo too three times
She shot right through that
Hardwood door
She 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's done me wrong
Bring out a thousand policemen
Bring 'em around today
And locked 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 a 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 man
He was her man
And he's done her wrong
