Frankie And Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
 Oh, what a couple in love
 Frankie was loyal to Johnny
 Just as true as the stars above
 He was her man
 But he done her wrong
 Frankie went down to the drugstore
 Some ice cream she wanted to buy
 The soda jerk told her that Johnny
 Was making love to Nellie Bligh
 He was her man
 But he was doing her wrong
 Now Frankie's dad was a policeman
 She stole his old forty-four gun
 Then back to the drugstore she beat it
 Just as fast as she could run
 After her man
 Who was doing her wrong
 Now Frankie peaked in on the party
 She got a surprise when she saw
 That Nellie and Johnny were making love
 And sipping soda through a straw
 He was her man
 But he was doing her wrong
 So Frankie flew into a tantrum
 She whipped out that old forty-four
 And her rootie-toot-boom, that gal did shoot
 Right through that hardwood swinging door
 She shot her man
 'Cause he was doing her wrong
 So bring on your crepe and your flowers
 Bring on your rubber-tired 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
 Now this is the end of my story
 And this is the end of my song
 Frankie is down in the jailhouse
 And she cries the whole night long
 "He was my man
 But he was doing me wrong"
