Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts
At least thats the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes
He was a man alright, oh but he was doing her wrong
Just to show you what can happen
A friend came running to Frankie
She said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his Jaguar
With a chick named Nellie Blye
He was your man honey, oh and he was doing you wrong
Let me tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
And peeked in a swinging place
There she saw Johnny with the woman
He had his arms around her waist
Aw he was a man alright but Frankie could see that he was
Doing her wrong. And oh let me tell you
Frankie reached down in her pocketbook
And up with a long forty-four
She shot once, twice, three times and
Johnny fell to the hard wood floor
Aw he was a man alright but Frankie shot him because he was
Doing her 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, yeah
Now Frankie, you know darn 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
And I know, I know I was doing
You wrong, wrong, wrong' wrong
Now Frankie you know darn well that I love you
Frankie
