Frankie And Johnny - Various Artists

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 was doing 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

Frankie's dad was a policeman

She stole his black forty four gun

Back to the drugstore she beat it

Just as fast as she could run

He was her man

But he was doing her wrong

Frankie peaked in at the party

She got a surprise when she saw

Nellie and Johnny just making love

And sipping soda through a straw

He was her man

But he was doing her wrong

Now Frankie flew into a tantrum

She put out that long forty four

Her rootie toot toot for town she did shoot

Right through that swinging door

He was her man

But he was doing her wrong

So bring on your crepe and your flowers

And bring on your rubber tired hack

There's eight men going to the graveyard

And only seven are coming back

He was her man

But he was doing her wrong

This is the end of my story

This is the end of my song

Frankie is down in the jail house

And she cries the whole night long

He was my man

But he was doing me wrong
