Frankie & Johnnie

歌詞

Frankie and Johnnie were lovers And, oh Lordy, how they did love They swore they's be true to each other Just as true as the stars above He was her man But he was doin' her wrong Now his luck at poker was fading When a pretty girl gave him the eye Well, he gambled he could change his luck With this lady named Nellie Bligh He was Frankie's man But he was doin' her wrong Now Frankie went lookin' for Johnnie And she wasn't lookin' for fun In her eye there was danger In her hand there was a loaded gun To shoot the man That been doin' her wrong Frankie looked in through the window She wasn't even surprised There was that smooth talkin' Johnnie Kissin' on Nellie Bligh He was her man But he was doin' her wrong Frankie stormed into the barroom People were jumpin' around She started shootin' that pistol She gunned old Johnnie down He was her man But he done her wrong This is the end of my story And this is the end of my song Frankie killed Johnnie for cheatin' She sent him where he belong He was her man But he was doin' her wrong
