Frankie and Johnnie

Frankie and Johnnie - Ameritz Tribute Club

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts

At least that's the way the story goes

Frankie bought everything for Johnny

From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes

Oh he was a man alright

Oh but he was doing a wrong

Just to show you what can happen

A friend came running to Frankie

Said "You know I wouldn't tell you no lie

I saw your man riding in his Jaguar

With a chick named Mary Bley"

Oh and if he was your man honey

Let me tell you he was doing you wrong

Let me tell the story

Frankie ran around the corner

And peeped in a swinging place

And there she saw Johnny with a woman

He had his arm around her waist oh he was a man alright

But Frankie could see that he was doing a wrong

And oh let me tell you Frankie reached down in her pocketbook

And up with a long 44 she shot once twice three times

And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor

Oh he was a man alright

But she shot him because he was doing a-wrong

But the last thing he told her was

Frankie you know I love you why

Honey why did you do that

Frankie I was telling her about you

Frankie you know I love you

Frankie you know that I love you

Yeah yeah yeah yeah and now Frankie

Frankie you know good well that I love you

Frankie I'll always love you baby

Frankie you know I can't do without you

Frankie you know I love you

I'm your man and although I was doing you wrong

Wrong wrong let me tell you

Frankie baby you know I love you
