Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh Lord, how they did love
Swore to be true to each other
True as the stars above
He was her man he wouldn't do 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 wouldn't do 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 girl named Nelly Bly
He was your man but he's doing you wrong
Frankie looked over the transom
She saw to her surprise
There on a cot sat Johnny making love to Nelly Bly
He is my man and he's doing me wrong
Frankie drew back to her kimona
She took out a little .44
Rooty-toot-toot 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 done me wrong
Bring out a thousand policemen
Bring 'em around today
To 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 men
He was her man and he done her wrong
