Johnny Cash - Frankie And Johnny
Frankie and Johnny were lovers,
Oh Lordy, how they could love.
They vowed to be true to each other,
Just as true as the stars above.
He was her man,
Wouldn't do he no wrong.
Frankie went down to the corner,
Just for a bucket of beer.
She said Mr bar-tender,
Has my lovin' Johnny Boy been here?
He is my man,
But I think he's doin' me wrong.
Don't want to tell you no stories,
Don't want to tell you no lies,
Your Johnny came here an hour ago
With a gal named Nelly Bligh.
If he's your man,
He's sure doin' you wrong.
Frankie went back to the homestead,
She didn't go there for fun.
She went back to get a hold on,
Johnny's shooting gun.
He was her man,
But he was doin' her wrong.
Frankie went back to the parlour
Pulled out her big forty-four.
Bang! Bang! she shot,
Three times she shot,
'Till her Johnny lay dead on the floor.
She shot her man
'Cos he was doin' her wrong.
