Frankie and Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh lordy, how they could love!
Oh, they swore to be true to each other
Just as true as the stars above!
He was her man
He wouldn't do her wrong

Well, Johnny stepped out to the ballroom
He had to have a bucket of beer
Oh, Frankie went down and said
Hey, Mr. Bartender
Has that lovin' man of mine been down here?
He's my man
He wouldn't do me wrong

He said, Honey, I'm not gonna tell you no story
I ain't gonna tell you no lie
I saw Johnny about an hour ago
Foolin' round with Nellie Bligh
He was your man
But he's doin' you wrong

Well, Frankie stepped down to the drugstore
And there upon her surprise
Johnny boy, lovin' up on Nellie Bligh
He was her man
But he's doin' her wrong

Well, Frankie slipped back her kimono
Whipped out that lone 44
Oh rooty toot, she shot five times
He shot her man
Oh, he was was doin' her wrong!

She said, Call out a thousand policemen
Blow them all out today
You can lock me, lock me, lock me in the dungeon
Throw your doggone key away
I shot my man
Oh, he done me wrong!

Well, my story has no moral
My story has no end
My story goes
My story shows
There ain't no trusting
She shot her man
'Cause he done her wrong
