Frankie and Johnny Lyrics
Frankie and Johnny - Brook Benton/Holcombe Wilford L
Written by：Brook Benton/Stan Applebaum
Little Frankie went down to the barroom she asked for a glass of beer
She said hey bartender has my Johnny been here
He's my man but he's done me wrong
The bartender said Frankie ya know I won't tell ya no lie
He left here about a minute ago with a gal named Alice Fry
He's your man but he's doin' you wrong
Frankie was a good little woman surely everybody knows
She paid one hundred dollars for Johnny's new suit of clothes
She loved her man but he done her wrong
Well then Frankie went down Broadway with a razor in her hand
She said stand back all you women I'm here for my cheatin' man
Yes he's my man but he's done me wrong
It was on a Friday mornin' about a ha'past nine o'clock
Frankie pulled her 44 and fired three fatal shots
She shot her man 'cause he done her wrong
They said
'Cause here come the chief of police with the 44 smokeless gun
You killed your man we know he done you wrong
Yeah he done you wrong Frankie
You shoulda shot him forty times
I'm a witness Frankie I was there
When you shot that man I saw
