Frankie And Johnny Lyrics
Frankie And Johnny - Frank Crumit
Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Oh lordy how they could love
Swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the stars up 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
He is my man he wouldn't do me wrong
I ain't gonna tell you no story
I ain't gonna tell you no lies
But I saw your Johnny half an hour ago
With a girl named Nellie Bly
He is your man but he's doing you wrong
Frankie looked over the transom
There to her great surprise
There on the couch sat Johnny
Hold them hand with Nellie Bly
He was her man but he was doing her wrong
Frankie drew back her kimono
Took out her little forty-four
Rooty-toot-toot three times she shot
Right through that hardwood door
She shot her man but 'cause he done her wrong
Bring out your rubber tired hearses
Catch out your rubber tired hack
It's 12 man to gone when pue the graveyard
And only 11 man that came back
He was the man but he done her wrong
The story has no moral
The story has no end
But the story only goes to show
That there ain't no good in men
He was her man but he done her wrong
