Frankie and Johnny - Ed McCurdy[00:00:00]
Frankie and Johnny were lovers [00:00:03]
And O Lordy how they could love [00:00:06]
Swore to be true to each other [00:00:09]
As true as the stars above [00:00:12]
He was her man he wouldn't do her wrong [00:00:14]
Frankie went down to the corner [00:00:22]
Just for a bucket of beer [00:00:25]
Said "Mr Bartender [00:00:28]
Has my lovin' Johnny been here [00:00:30]
He's my man He wouldn't do me wrong "[00:00:33]
"Well I don't want to cause you no trouble [00:00:40]
And I don't want to tell you no lie [00:00:43]
Seen your lovin' Johnny 'bout an hour ago[00:00:46]
Makin' love to Nellie Bly [00:00:48]
He's your man and he's doin' you wrong [00:00:51]
Well Frankie looked over the transom[00:00:58]
And there to her surprise[00:01:01]
Seen her loving Johnny on four-poster bed[00:01:04]
Making love to Nellie Bly [00:01:07]
He was her man and he was doin' her wrong [00:01:10]
Frankie reached into her kimono [00:01:16]
And pulled out a little 44[00:01:19]
Root-a-toot-toot three times she shot[00:01:22]
Right through that hardward door [00:01:25]
Shot her man cause he was doing her wrong [00:01:27]
"Roll me over easy [00:01:34]
And roll me over slow [00:01:37]
Roll me on my left side[00:01:40]
Those bullets hurt me so [00:01:43]
I was her man and I done her wrong "[00:01:46]
"Bring on your rubber-tired hearses [00:01:53]
Bring on your rubber-tired hack [00:01:56]
Takin' my man to the graveyard [00:01:59]
And I ain't a-gonna bring him back [00:02:01]
I shot my man 'cause he was doin' me wrong "[00:02:04]
Frankie looked up Elm Street[00:02:11]
As far as she could see [00:02:14]
And all she could hear was two-string bow[00:02:17]
Playing "Nearer My God to Thee"[00:02:20]
All over town Johnny's dead [00:02:22]
Last time I saw Frankie[00:02:29]
Sittin' in a 'lectric chair [00:02:32]
Getting ready to meet her God [00:02:35]
With sweat pouring down from her hair [00:02:38]
Shot her man 'cause he done her wrong[00:02:41]
