Lyrics

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts oh Lordy how they
 Did love
 Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above
 He was her man he was doing her wrong
 Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of
 Beer
 She says Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been here
 He's my man he was doing me wrong
 I don't want cause you no trouble I ain't gonna tell
 You no lie
 I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie
 Bligh
 He is your man and he's doing you wrong
 Frankie looked over in transom she saw to her susrprice
 There on the cab sat Johnny making love to Nellie Blie
 He is my man and he's doing me wrong
 Frankie drew back to her kimona she took out a little
 44
 Rutty tooo too three times she shot right through that
 Hardwood door
 She shot her man he was doing her wrong
 Bring out the rubber tied buggy bring out the rubber
 Tied hack
 I'm taking my man to the graveyard but I ain't gonna
 Bring him back
 Lord he was my man and he's done me wrong
 Bring out a thousand policemen bring 'em around today
 And locked me down in the dungeon cell and throw that
 Key away
 I shot my man he was doing me wrong
 Frankie she said to the warden what are they going to
 Do
 The warden he said to Frankie it's a electric chair for
 You
 Cause you shot your man he was doing you wrong
 This story has no moral this story has no end
 This story just goes to show that there ain't no good
 In man
 He was her man and he's done her wrong
