Frankie and Johnny
Were sweethearts
At least, that's the
Way the story goes
Log on to hide ad.
Frankie bought
Everything for Johnny
From his sports car
To his Ivy League clothes
Oh, he was a man, all right
Oh, but he was doing her wrong
Just to show you what can 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 Bligh
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, all right
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 .44
She shot once, twice, three times
And Johnny fell on
The hardwood floor
Oh, he was a man, all right
But she 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
Now, Frankie, you know
Good and 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 although I was
Doing you wrong, wrong, wrong
Let me tell you
Frankie, baby
You know that I love you
