Frankie and Johnny 歌詞

 

Frankie and Johnny were lovers

Oh Lordy how they made love

Swore to be true to each other

True as the stars above

For he was her man

But he done her wrong

Frankie was a good girl

Most everybody knows

She gave a hundred dollars

To Johnny for a suit of clothes

'Cause he was her man

But he done her wrong

Frankie worked in a crib joint

Behind a grocery store

She gave all her money to Johnny

He spent it on high tone whores

God d**n his soul

He done her wrong

Frankie was a f**ky hussy

That's what all the pimps said

And they kept her so d**n busy

She never got out of bed

But he done her wrong

God d**n his soul

Frankie she knowed her business

Frankie went to the front door

She hung out a sign on the door:

She rang the whorehouse bell

Fresh fish cost you a dollar here

Stand back you pimps and whores

Fancy f**king cost ten cents more

Or I'll blow you straight to hell

He was her man

I'm hunting my man

He done her wrong

Who's doin' me wrong

Frankie went looking for Johnny

Frankie drew back her kimono

She hung out a sign on the door:

Pulled out her big forty four

No more fish for sale now

Rooty toot toot three times she shoot

Go find you another w***e

Left him lyin' on that whorehouse floor

He was her man

She shot her man

But he done her wrong

'Cause he done her wrong

Frankie went down Fourth Street

Roll me over Frankie

She ordered a glass of beer

Roll me over slow

Said to the big bartender man

A bullet got me in my right side

Has my ever lovin' man been here

Oh God it hurts me so

God d**n his soul

You killed your man

He done her wrong

'Cause I done you wrong

I couldn't tell you no story

Frankie ran back to her crib joint

I couldn't tell you no lie

She fell across the bed

I saw your Johnny an hour ago

Saying Lord oh Lord

I've shot my man

With a w***e called Alice Ely

I've shot my Johnny dead

God d**n his soul

He was my man

He was doin' you wrong

God d**n his soul

Frankie ran back to her crib joint

Three little pieces of crepe

Fixin' to do him some harm

Hanging on the crib joint door

She took out a bindle of horse

Signifies that Johnny

And shot it right up her arm

Will never be a pimp no more

God d**n his soul

God d**n his soul

He was doing her wrong

He done her wrong

Frankie put on her kimono

Bring out your rubber tired buggy

This time it wasn't for fun

Bring out your rubber tired hack

'Cause right underneath it

I'm taking my man to the graveyard

Was a great big forty four gun

I ain't gonna bring him back

God d**n his soul

He was my man

He done her wrong

But he done me wrong

She ran along Fish Alley

They brought a rubber tired buggy

Looked in a window so high

And brought out a rubber tired hack

Saw her lovin' Johnny

Thirteen pimps went to the cemetery

Finger f**king Alice Ely

But only twelve of them came back

He was doing her wrong

He's dead and gone

God d**n his soul

He was doing her wrong

Frankie went out to the graveyard

Sorry as she could be

Ridin' behind a whorehouse band

Playin' Nearer My God to Thee

He was her man

He was doing her wrong

Frankie stood up in the courtroom

I'm not tellin' no sass

I didn't shoot Johnny in the first degree

I shot him in his big black a*s

He was my man

He was doin' me wrong

The judge said Stand up Frankie

Stand up and dry your tears

You know murder's a hangin' crime

But I'll give you ninety nine years

He was your man

He was doin' you wrong

The last time I seen Frankie

She was ridin' on that train

Takin' her to the jail house

Never bring her back again

He was her man

God d**n his soul
