Frankie and Johnny - Ethel Waters[00:00:00]
Written by:DR[00:00:00]
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts[00:00:04]
Boy how they could love[00:00:08]
Swore to be true to each other[00:00:12]
True as the stars above[00:00:16]
'Cause he was her man[00:00:18]
But he done her wrong[00:00:22]
One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel[00:00:27]
Just casually glanced into a window so high[00:00:31]
And who did she see but her lovin' man[00:00:36]
Lovin' up old Nellie Bligh[00:00:40]
She caught her man[00:00:42]
Doin' her wrong[00:00:45]
Well she went round the corner[00:00:50]
To her favourite pawn shop[00:00:52]
This time she didn't go there for fun[00:00:55]
'Cause when she left underneath[00:00:58]
Her long red kimono[00:01:00]
She was totin' a forty four gun[00:01:02]
She was gunnin' for her man[00:01:04]
Who was doin' her wrong[00:01:08]
Then back Frankie[00:01:13]
Dashed to that hotel[00:01:14]
Started yankin' the bell[00:01:18]
She said stand back[00:01:20]
You madam and floozies[00:01:22]
Or I'll blow each and every[00:01:24]
One of you straight to hell[00:01:26]
I want my man[00:01:28]
Who's done me wrong[00:01:31]
Johnnie in panic mounted the staircase[00:01:36]
Screamin' oh Frankie don't shoot[00:01:41]
Three times she pulled a[00:01:44]
Trigger on a forty four gun[00:01:46]
The gun went root toot toot[00:01:48]
She nailed her man[00:01:51]
Who'd done her wrong[00:01:55]
So they put her away in a dungeon[00:01:59]
Way up in a dark dingy cell[00:02:04]
In the south east corner of a jail[00:02:08]
Where the wind seemed like blow straight from hell[00:02:10]
For killin' her man[00:02:14]
Who done her wrong[00:02:18]
But the day Frankie[00:02:22]
Mounted the scaffold[00:02:25]
She was just as calm as[00:02:29]
Any gal could be[00:02:31]
And raising her eyes to[00:02:33]
Heaven she cried[00:02:35]
Lord I'm comin' to thee[00:02:37]
I'm sorry I killed my man[00:02:41]
Who done me wrong aaah[00:02:48]
