Jimmie Rodgers - Frankie And Johnny lyrics

rate me

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts oh Lordy how they

Did love

Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above

He was her man he was doing her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of

Beer

She says Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been here

He's my man he was doing me wrong

I don't want cause you no trouble I ain't gonna tell

You no lie

I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie

Bligh

He is your man and he's doing you wrong

Frankie looked over in transom she saw to her susrprice

There on the cab sat Johnny making love to Nellie Blie

He is my man and he's doing me wrong

Frankie drew back to her kimona she took out a little

44

Rutty tooo too three times she shot right through that

Hardwood door

She shot her man he was doing her wrong

Bring out the rubber tied buggy bring out the rubber

Tied hack

I'm taking my man to the graveyard but I ain't gonna

Bring him back

Lord he was my man and he's done me wrong

Bring out a thousand policemen bring 'em around today

And locked me down in the dungeon cell and throw that

Key away

I shot my man he was doing me wrong

Frankie she said to the warden what are they going to

Do

The warden he said to Frankie it's a electric chair for

You

Cause you shot your man he was doing you wrong

This story has no moral this story has no end

This story just goes to show that there ain't no good

In man

He was her man and he's done her wrong
