Frankie & Johnny

Frankie and me
we were lovers
Oh lordy, how we
did love

Swore we�d be true
to each other,
just as true as stars
above
I was her man,
she caught me doing
her wrong

My luck at poker
was fading
when a new gal
caught my eye
I gambled, I tried
to change my luck
with a chick
named Nellie Bly
I was Frankie�s
man but I was doing
her wrong

Yeah, Frankie came
looking to find me,
yes, she wasn�t looking
for fun
For in her sweet
loving hand, she was
totin� a 44 gun

To shoot her
man if he was doin�
her wrong

Well frankie walked
into the bar room
and right there in front
of her eyes
There was her loving
Johnny, making love to
that Nellie Bly

I was her man,
she caught me doing
her wrong

Frankie, I beg, please
don�t shoot me
well they�ll put you away
in a cell
You know they�ll
put you where the cold
wind blows from the
hottest corner in hell
I�m your man,
I know I done you wrong
Easy on the roll,
real easy
Easy on the roll,
real slow
Roll me over real
gently �cause my wound
hurts me so

Well I was her man,
well I done her wrong
Well Frankie told
Johnny, well this is the
end of my song

I was her man,
well I done her wrong
Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey
done her wrong
