_______

 

Frankie and Johnny were lovers! Oh, Lordy, how they could love!
They swore to be true to each other, Just as true as the stars above.
He was her man, But he done her wrong.

 

Frankie she was a good woman, Just as every one knows.
She gave her man a hundred dollars, Just to buy him a new suit of clothes.
He was her man, but he done her wrong.

 

Johnny went down to the corner, He asked for a glass of beer.
Frankie went down in an hour or so, Said has my loving Johnny been here.
He’s my man but he’s doing me wrong.
