We'll take it a bit slower
This is this is the huh this is the first song I ever learned actually
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Lordy how they could love
Swore to be true to each other
Yeah true to the skies above
He was her man wouldn't do her no wrong
And Frankie and Johnny went walkin'
And Johnny had on a new suit
Yeah Frankie spent one hundred dollar notes
Just to make her man look cute
He was her man he wouldn't do her no wrong
Frankie went over to the barroom
Stopped for a bottle of beer
Said to the old bartender man
Has my lover Johnny man been here
He was my man Lord but he'd been doin' me wrong so wrong
Yeah Frankie looked over the transom door
And there to her great surprise
There sat her lover man Johnny
Makin' love to Nellie Bly
He was her man but he was doin' her wrong
Well Frankie lifted up her kimono dress
And she drew
Ladaladalala
Out a little 44
She shot once twice three times
Three times
She shot him
And through that hardwood
Door
Floor
Yeah she shot her man
Yeah he was her man
Well but he been doin' her wrong yeah
He said roll me over so careful ah
Roll me over so slow
Oh roll me off to my left hand side
Because your bullet hurt me so
I was your man but I been doin' you wrong
Play it Chris
Well they sent for Frankie's mother
Come down to Huddie's saloon
To see what's the matter with her boy
She come down Frankie looked up at her
Here what she said:
She said Oh Mrs Johnson oh forgive me please
Well I killed your lovin' son Johnny
But I'm down on my bended knee
I shot your man 'cause he was doin' me wrong ah'
She said I'll forgive you Frankie
She said I'll forgive you not not
For killin' lovin' son Johnny
He's the only support that I've got
'Lord you shot my man and he was doin' you wrong
Well the last time I seen Frankie
She was a sittin' in a dungeon cell
She would be there lonely herself
With no one there to care
She shot her man a he'd been doin' her wrong so wrong
Well bring out the rubber tired
Hearse
So long
You gotta bring out your pony and trap
Yeah they're gonna take Johnny Johnny to the cemetery
Graveyard
And he ain't never coming back
Well he was her man
Oh but he been doin' her wrong so wrong
Well the story ain't got no moral Lordy
But the story ain't got no end
Well the story only goes to show
That there ain't no d**n good in men
She shot her man
He was her man
But he was doin' her wrong
Yeah ba da ba ba da ba ba da ba ba ba ba
Woo
