Frankie And Johnnie

Frankie And Johnnie - Gene Vincent

Written by：Gene Vincent

Well Frankie and Johnny were lovers

True as the stars above

Frankie said Johnny you my man

You the man I love

You my man but don't you do me wrong

Well Johnny walked down to the barroom

He said Man I sure am dry

He said Give me some o' that joy juice

So I can drink it with Nellie Bly

He was her man but heard he done her wrong

Well then Frankie walked into the barroom

Then she took out that long forty-four

And rooty-tee-toot that gal did shoot

Through that hardboard swingin' door

She done her man 'cause he was doin' her wrong so wrong

Poor Johnny

Well then Frankie strolled into the barroom

Then she took that long forty-four

And rooty-tee-toot that gal did shoot

Through that hardboard swingin' door

She done her man 'cause he was doin' her wrong so wrong

Well now Frankie sits down in the jailhouse

She went down on bended knee

She said Hey-hey Mister Jailer

I tell me what you're gonna do to me

He was my man but he done me wrong So wrong

He was my man but I done her wrong so wrong
