Frankie & Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh Lordy, how they had love
Oh, they swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the stars above

He was her man
He wouldn't do her wrong

Well, Johnny stepped out to the ballroom
He had to have a bucket of beer
Oh, Frankie went down and said, "Hey, Mr. Bartender
Has that lovin' man of mine been down here?"

He's my man
He wouldn't do me wrong

He said, "Honey, I'm not gonna tell you no story
I ain't gonna tell you no lie
I saw Johnny about an hour ago
Foolin' 'round with Nellie Bligh

He was your man
Oh, he was doin' you wrong

Well, Frankie stepped down to the drugstore
And there upon her surprise
Ooh, boy, in a booth sat Johnny boy
Lovin' up on Nellie Bligh

He was her man
Mmm, but he's doin' her wrong

Well, Frankie slipped back her kimono
Whipped out that lone .44
Oh, rooty toot, she shot five times
Right through that swingin' hardwood door

She shot her man
Oh, he was was doin' her wrong

She said, "Call out a thousand policemen
Call 'em all out today
You can lock me, lock me, lock me in the dungeon
Throw your doggone key away

I shot my man
Oh, he done me wrong

Well, my story has no moral
My story has no end
My story goes, my story shows
There ain't no trust in none of these men

She did shot her man
'Cause he done her wrong
