Frankie and Johnny Lyrics

Ah well Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Lordy how they could love
Ah, they swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the skies above
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
Well Frankie and Johnny went walking
Johnny had on a new suit
Yeah Frankie spent one hundred dollars
Just to make her man look cute
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
"Well Frankie see, I'm gonna leave you
But I wont be very long.
Ah, don't you wait up for me honey,
Don't you worry while I'm gone.
I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong."
So Frankie walked down to the Huddy saloon
And she called for a bottle of beer.
And she said to the old bar-tender man
"Has my loving Johnny man been here?
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong."
"Well see I don't want to cause you no trouble,
Well I don't want to tell you no lies
Yeah I see your Johnny
Making love with Nelly Bly.
He was your man, but he been doing you wrong, so wrong."
So Frankie walked over to the transit-door
And there to her great surprise
There sat her lover Johnny
Making love with Nelly Bly
He was her man, but he being her wrong, so wrong.
So as Nelly lifted up her kimono dress
Drew a little 44
Hey rum-tum-tum, three times she shot him,
Right through that hardwood door
She shot her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong.
He said "Roll me over so careful
Hey, roll me over so slow
Hey, roll me onto my left side
Your bullets they hurt me so
I was your man, but I been doing your wrong, so wrong".
E (Spoken fast over E chord)
They sent for Johnny's mother, she come down to the Huddy saloon asking what's the
matter with her boy and
what's he talking about
He said "Oh Mrs Johnson
See what your son has got
Don't be rockin', a' don't be stompin'
But your little Johnny-boy's been shot
He was her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong"
She said "oh Mrs Johnson
Oh forgive me please
I know I killed your loving son Johnny
But I'm down on a bended knee
I shot your man, but he was doing me wrong, so wrong.
She said "I forgive you Frankie"
She said "I forgive you not"
"Oh you killed my loving son Johnny
He was the only boy I got
You shot my man, ah he was doing you wrong, so wrong."
And last time I see Frankie
She was still in a dungeon cell
All day weeping, all day moaning
Cos his soul is going down to hell
She shot her man, but he was doing her wrong, so wrong.
She said "Now bring your drum and tired hearses
And a bring up your pony and trap
I'm gonna takea' my Johnny to the grave yard
I ain'ta gonna bring him back
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong".
Hey the story aint had no moral
Well the story aint got no end
Well the story only goes to show show you
There's no damn good in men
She shot her man, and he was doing her wrong.
