Jimmie Rodgers - Frankie And Johnny Lyrics
Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts, oh Lord how they did loveSwore to be true to each other, true as the stars aboveHe was her man, he wouldn't do her wrongFrankie went down to the corner, just for a bucket of beerShe says, Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been hereHe's my man, he wouldn't do me wrongI don't want cause you no trouble, I ain't gonna tell you no lieI saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie BlighHe was your man, but he's doing you wrongFrankie looked over the transom, she saw to her surpriseThere on a cot sat Johnny, making love to Nellie BlighHe is my man, and he's doing me wrongFrankie drew back her kimono, she took out a little 44Rooty toot toot, three times she shot, right through that hardwood doorShot her man, he was doing her wrongBring out the rubber tied buggy, bring out the rubber tied hackI'm taking my man to the graveyard, but I ain't gonna bring him backLord, he was my man, and he done me wrongBring out a thousand policemen, bring 'em around todayTo lock me down in the dungeon cell, and throw that key awayI shot my man, he was doing me wrongFrankie she said to the warden what are they going to doThe warden he said to Frankie, it's electric chair for youCause you shot your man, he was doing you wrongThis story has no moral, this story has no endThis story just goes to show, that there ain't no good in menHe was her man, and he done her wrong
