Frankie And Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Oh, what a couple in love
Vowed to be true to each other
True as stars above
He was her man
But he's done her wrong

Frankie went down to the Tavern
Some Gin she wanted to buy
The bartender told her that Johnny
Was making love to Nellie Bligh
He was her man
But he was doing her wrong

Frankie's dad was a policeman
She stole his old 44 gun
Then back to the Tavern she beat it
Just as fast as she could run
After her man
Who was doing her wrong

Frankie flew into a tantrum
She whipped out that old 44
And rooted toot-toot, that girl did shoot
Right through that hard wood swinging door
She shot her man
'Cause he was doing her wrong

So bring on your satin and flowers
And bring on your rubber tied hack
'Cause there's eight men to go to the graveyard
But only seven are coming back
She shot her man
'Cause he was doing her wrong

This is the end of my story
This is the end of my song
Frankie is down in the jailhouse
And she wails all night long
He was my man
But he done me wrong, wrong
