Frankie and Johnnie - Original - Ethel Waters[00:00:00]

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts[00:00:05]

Boy how they could love [00:00:09]

Swore to be true to each other[00:00:13]

True as the stars above [00:00:17]

'Cause he was her man[00:00:20]

But he done her wrong [00:00:23]

One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel[00:00:28]

Just casually glanced into a window so high[00:00:33]

And who did she see but her loving man[00:00:37]

Loving up old Nellie Bligh [00:00:41]

She caught her man[00:00:43]

Doing her wrong [00:00:47]

Well she went round the corner to her favourite pawn shop[00:00:51]

This time she didn't go there for fun [00:00:56]

'Cause when she left underneath her long red kimono[00:01:00]

She was toting a forty-four gun [00:01:04]

She was gunning for her man[00:01:06]

Who was doing her wrong [00:01:10]

Then back Frankie dashed to that hotel[00:01:15]

Started yanking the bell [00:01:20]

She said stand back you madam and floozies[00:01:22]

Or I'll blow each and every one of you straight to hell [00:01:26]

I want my man[00:01:30]

Who's done me wrong[00:01:34]

Johnnie in panic mounted the staircase[00:01:39]

Screaming oh Frankie don't shoot[00:01:43]

Three times she pulled a trigger on a forty-four gun[00:01:46]

The gun went[00:01:50]

Root toot toot[00:01:51]

She nailed her man[00:01:53]

Who'd done her wrong [00:01:57]

So they put her away in a dungeon[00:02:01]

Way up in a dark dingy cell[00:02:07]

In the south east corner of a jail[00:02:10]

Where the wind seemed to blow straight from hell [00:02:13]

For killing her man[00:02:17]

Who done her wrong [00:02:21]

But the day Frankie mounted the scaffold[00:02:25]

She was just as calm as any gal could be [00:02:32]

And raising her eyes to heaven she cried[00:02:36]

Lord I'm coming to thee[00:02:39]

I'm sorry I killed my man[00:02:44]

Who done me wrong[00:02:51]
