Sam Cooke - Frankie And Johnny lyrics

rate me

Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts

at least thats the way the story goes

Frankie bought everything for Johnny

from his sports car to his Ivy League clothes

He was a man alright, oh but he was doing her wrong

just to show you what can happen

A friend came running to Frankie

she said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie

I saw your man riding in his Jaguar

with a chick named Nellie Blye

He was your man honey, oh and he was doing you wrong

let me tell the story

Frankie ran around the corner

and peeked in a swinging place

there she saw Johnny with the woman

he had his arms around her waist

aw...he was a man alright but Frankie could see that he was

doing her wrong. And oh let me tell you

Frankie reached down in her pocketbook

and up with a long forty-four

she shot once, twice, three times and

Johnny fell to the hard wood floor

aw...he was a man alright but Frankie shot him because he was

doing her wrong

But the last thing he told her was

Frankie, you know I love you

Why? Honey why did you do that?

Frankie.. I was telling her about you

Frankie.. you know I love you

Frankie.. you know that I love you

yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah

Now Frankie, you know darn well that I love you

Frankie.. I'll always love you baby

Frankie.. you know I can't do without you

Frankie.. you know I love you

and I know, I know I was doing

you wrong..wrong..wrong..wrong

Now Frankie..you know darn well that I love you

Frankie....(song fades and ends)
