Frankie And Johnny by Lonnie Donegan
Frankie And Johnny
E
Ah well Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Lordy how they could love
A
Ah, they swore to be true to each other
E
Just as true as the skies above
B7 E
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
E
Well Frankie and Johnny went walking
Johnny had on a new suit
A
Yeah Frankie spent one hundred dollars
E
Just to make her man look cute
B7 E
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
E
"Well Frankie see, I'm gonna leave you
But I wont be very long.
A
Ah, don't you wait up for me honey,
E
Don't you worry while I'm gone.
B7 E
I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong."
E
So Frankie walked down to the Huddy saloon
And she called for a bottle of beer.
A
And she said to the old bar-tender man
E
"Has my loving Johnny man been here?
B7 E
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong."
E
"Well see I don't want to cause you no trouble,
well I don't want to tell you no lies
A
Yeah I see your Johnny
E
making love with Nelly Bly.
B7 E
He was your man, but he been doing you wrong, so wrong."
E
So Frankie walked over to the transit-door
And there to her great surprise
A
There sat her lover Johnny
E
Making love with Nelly Bly
B7 E
He was her man, but he being her wrong, so wrong.
E
So as Nelly lifted up her kimono dress
Drew a little 44
A
Hey rum-tum-tum, three times she shot him,
E
Right through that hardwood door
B7 E
She shot her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong.
E
He said "Roll me over so careful
Hey, roll me over so slow
A
Hey, roll me onto my left side
E
Your bullets they hurt me so
B7 E
I was your man, but I been doing your wrong, so wrong".
E (Spoken fast over E chord)
They sent for Johnny's mother, she come down to the Huddy saloon asking what's the
matter with her boy and
what's he talking about
E
He said "Oh Mrs Johnson
See what your son has got
A
Don't be rockin', a' don't be stompin'
E
But your little Johnny-boy's been shot
B7 E
He was her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong"
E
She said "oh Mrs Johnson
Oh forgive me please
A
I know I killed your loving son Johnny
E
But I'm down on a bended knee
B7 E
I shot your man, but he was doing me wrong, so wrong.
E
She said "I forgive you Frankie"
She said "I forgive you not"
A
"Oh you killed my loving son Johnny
E
He was the only boy I got
B7 E
You shot my man, ah he was doing you wrong, so wrong."
E
And last time I see Frankie
She was still in a dungeon cell
A
All day weeping, all day moaning
E
Cos his soul is going down to hell
B7,
She shot her man, but he was doing her wrong, so wrong.
E
She said "Now bring your drum and tired hearses
And a bring up your pony and trap
A
I'm gonna takea' my Johnny to the grave yard
E
I ain'ta gonna bring him back
B7 E
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong".
E
Hey the story aint had no moral
Well the story aint got no end
A
Well the story only goes to show show you
E
There's no damn good in men
B7 E
She shot her man, and he was doing her wrong.
