Frankie & Johnny

I wanna tell you about Frankie yeah and Johnny
They were lovers, yes they were, ooh
I just wanna tell you how they could love, love, ooh yeah
They were true to each other, yeah
Just as true as the stars above

He was her man
He was her man
But he done her wrong, yes he did
He done her wrong (Johnny done Frankie wrong)

Frankie went down to the dead pond, yes she did, ooh
And told me that she looked at a window so high, high, ooh yeah
When she saw her lover Johnny, yeah
Whipping his arms around in the sky

He was her man
He was her man
But he done her wrong, yes he did
He done her wrong (he done her wrong)

They told me that Frankie shot Johnny once, ooh-ooh-ooh
They told me that Frankie shot Johnny twice, ooh yeah
But the bullet touch is shining
That bullet took his life

Johnny said to Frankie, yes he did, oh
Just as plain as flan can be, oh, ooh, ooh yeah
"You have shot your loving Johnny yeah"
(Murder) and the first-degree
He was her man (you shot your man)
You shot your man

But he done her wrong, yes he did
He done her wrong
Done her Frankie, ooh yeah
Done her Frankie
Done her Frankie
