2.) "Frankie's Man, Johnny"
[Verse 1]
N.C. A
Well, now, Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
A
They were true as a blue, blue sky
D A
He was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked wandering eye
E7 A
But he was her man nearly all of the time
[Verse 2]
A
Well, Johnny, he packed up to leave her
A
But he promised he'd be back
D A
He said he had a little picking to do a little farther down the track
E7 A
He said, "I'm your man; I wouldn't do you wrong."
[Verse 3]
A
Well, Frankie curled up on the sofa
A
Thinking about her man
D A
Far away the couples were dancing to the music of his band
E7 A
He was Frankie's man, he wasn't doing her wrong
[Verse 4]
A
Then, in the front door walked a redhead
A
Johnny saw her right away
D A
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while he played
E7 A
He was Frankie's man, but she was far away
[Verse 5]
A
He sang every song to the redhead
A
She smiled back at him
D A
The he came and sat at her table where the lights were low and dim
E7 A
What Frankie didn't know wouldn't hurt her none
[Verse 6]
A
Then the redhead jumped up an slapped him
A
She slapped him a time or two
D A
She said, "I'm Frankie's sister and I was checkin' up on you
E7 A
If you're her man, you better treat her right."
[Verse 7]
A
Well, the moral of this story
A
Is be good but carry a stick
D A
Sometimes it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell what to pick
E7 A
He was Frankie's man, and he still ain't done her wrong

[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
I long for a trip, I don't need no grip
G
I'm takin' one more ride
C
Way out there in the prairie air
C
I guess it's in my hide
G D7
Oh, the clickety clack of the railroad track is calling
G
If a man could know where the Santa Fe goes
G
When she gets under steam
C
and the big loud bell that bongs farewell
C
Could hear her whistle scream
G D7 G
He's bound to go where there ain't no snow a-falling
D7 G C D7 G
One more ride, one more ride
[Verse 2]
G
I miss the gloom of the prairie moon
G
That seemed to know my name
C
And the tumbleweed where the prairie dog feed
C
I miss them just the same
G D7
They're all a part of a song at heart I'm saying
G
I recall a tune that I sang to the moon
G
And it seemed to make it smile
C
And I rode away at the close of day
C
And I stayed so long awhile
G D7 G
But I long to be where the memory is ringing
D7 G C D7 G
One more ride, one more ride
[Verse 3]
G
As the years go by, I wonder why
G
I longed to leave my home
C
And I hit the trail of the iron rail
C
Away out there alone
G D7
But my heart would sigh 'til I know that I am leaving
G
If I don't come back on a one-way track
G
Way down from Mexico
C
You can find me there or any old where
C
That a tumbleweed will grow
G D7 G
It's goodbye now, you'll never know how I'm grieving
D7 G C D7 G
One more ride, one more ride

Leave your guns at home, Bill

But you know time has woven for me a realization

Of a truth that's even more thrilling

That someday we'll be called together around the great supper table up there

For the greatest suppertime of them all with our Lord

I can almost hear the call now coming from the portals of heaven

"Come home, son, it's suppertime, come on home"

"Come home, come home, it's suppertime"
E7 A A7
