Hank Snow - Frankie And Johnny Lyrics
Now Frankie and Johnny were sweetheartsOh Lord, how they did loveSwore to be true to each other true as the stars aboveHe was her man but he wouldn't do her wrong.Now Frankie went down to the cornerJust for a bucket of beerShe said Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been hereHe's my man, he wouldn't do me wrong.I don't want to cause you no troubleWoman, I ain't gonna lieBut I saw your lover an hour agoWith a girl named Nellie BlieHe's your man but he's doin' you wrong.Now Frankie looked over the transomShe saw to her susrpriceThere on the cab sat JohnnyMaking love to Nellie BlieHe's my man, but he's doin' me wrong.Frankie threw back her comonaTook out her little 44Rutty too-too three times she shot right throughThat hardwood doorShot her man, he was doin' her wrong.--- Instrumental ---Now bring out your rubber tired hearsesBring out your rubber tired hackI'm taken said the man to the graveyardBut only six of 'em called him backHe was my man but he done me wrong.Bring round a thousand policemenBring 'em around todayTo lock me down in that dungeon cellAnd throw that key awayI shot my man, he was doin' me wrong.Now Frankie she said to the wardenWhat are they goin' to doThe warden he said to FrankieIt's the electric chair for youYou shot your man, he was doin' you wrong.Now this story has no moralThis story has no endThis story just goes to showThat there ain't no good in manHe was her man, but he done her wrong...
