Frankie and Johnnie

Frankie and Johnnie - Texas Ruby/Curly Fox

Frankie and Johnny were 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 said

Mister Bartender Has my loving Johnny been here

Hes my man he wouldn't do me wrong

I don't want to cause you no trouble

Don't want tell you no lie

I saw your lover an hour ago With a girl named

Nellie Bly 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

Bly He is my man and hes doing me wrong

Frankie drew back her kimona

She took out a little fortyfour Roottotoot

Three times she shoot Right thru that

Hardwood door Shot her man

He was doing her wrong
