Elvis Presley - Frankie & Johnny Lyrics
(words & music by gottlieb - karger - weisman)Frankie and me we were loversOh lordy how we could loveSwore wed be true to each otherJust as true as stars aboveI was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.My luck in poker was fadingWhen a new gal caught my eyeI gambled, I tried to change my luckWith a chick named nellie blyI was frankies man but I was doing her wrong.Yeah! frankie came looking to find meYes, she wasnt looking for funFor in her sweet loving handShe was totin a 44 gunTo shoot her man if he was doin her wrongWell frankie walked into the bar roomAnd right there in front of her eyesThere was her loving johnnyMaking love to that nellie blyI was her man, she caught me doing her wrong.Frankie, I beg, please dont shoot meWell theyll put you away in a cellYou know theyll put your where the cold wind blowsFrom the hottest corner in hellIm your man, I know I done you wrong.Easy on the roll, real easyEasy on the roll, real slowRoll me over real gentlycause my wound hurts me soWell I was her manWell I done her wrongWell frankie told johnnyWell this is the end of my songI was her man, well I done her wrongWell , hey, hey, hey, hey, heyDone her wrong
