Frankie & Johnny were sweethearts
|
At least, that's the way the story goes
|
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
|
From his sports-car to his Ivy League clothes
|
Oh, he was a man allright,
|
Oh, but he was doing a-wrong
|
Just to show you what came happen
|
|
A friend came running to Frankie
|
Said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie
|
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
|
With a chick named Mary Bley
|
Oh if he was your man honey
|
Let me tell you he was doing you wrong
|
Let me tell the story
|
|
Frankie ran around the corner
|
And peeked in a swinging place
|
And there she saw Johnny with a woman
|
He had his arm around her waist
|
Oh he was a man alright
|
But Frankie could see that he was doing a-wrong
|
Oh let me tell you
|
|
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
|
And up with a long 44
|
She shot once, twice, three times
|
And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor
|
Oh he was a man alright
|
But she shot him because he was doing a-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
|
|
Frankie you know good 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
|
I'm your man and I know I was doing a-wrong
|
