Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts, oh Lordy how they did love
Swore to be true to each other true, true as the stars above
He was her man but he was doing her wrong
Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of beer
She says, "Hey, 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 gal named Nellie Bligh
He was your man but he's doing you wrong
Frankie looked over the transom, she saw to her susrprice
There on the cab sat Johnny making love to Nellie Blie
He is my man but he's doing me wrong
Frankie drew back to her kimona, she took out a little .44
Rutty tooo-too, three times right through that hardwood door
She shot her man 'cause he were doing her wrong
Bring out the rubber tied heresies and bring out the rubber tied hack
She's taking her man to the graveyard and she ain't gonna bring him back
Lord he was her man and he was doing her wrong
Bring out a thousand policemen, bring 'em around today
And locked her down in the dungeon and throw that key away
She shot her man 'cause he was doing her wrong
Frankie she said to the warden, what are they going to do?
And the warden said to Frankie it's electric chair for you
You shot your man 'cause he was doing you wrong
This story has no moral, this story has no end
The only thing this story goes to show is there ain't no good in man
He was her man and he was doing her wrong
