Lyrics of
Frankie And Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were lovers
Oh lord how they could love
They swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the stars above
He was her man
But he did her wrong
Frankie went down to the bar room
To buy her Johnny a beer
Said to the bartender
Has my ever-lovin' Johnny been here
He is my man
But he's doin' me wrong
I cannot tell you no story
I cannot tell you no lie
Johnny left about an hour ago
With a gal named Nellie Bly
He is your man
But he's doin' you wrong
Frankie went down The Broadway
With a forty four in her hand
Said "Stand aside all you Chorus gals
I'm a-lookin' for my man"
He is my man
But he's doin' me wrong
The first time she shot him he staggered
The next time she shot him he fell
The last time she shot him oh lord
There was another man's face in hell
He was her man
But he did her wrong
