Well, Frankie 

Frankie told Johnny 

Lord, I want a diamond ring 

Oh, Johnny told Frankie 

I'll get you most anything 

Oh Johnny went down to the German 

On Rampart and Dumaine 

He walked in the store 

The German had a diamond in his hand 

Te-na, Te-na-na 

Te-na, Na-ne-na 

Te-na, Na-na-na 

Te-na, Na-na-n'-na 

Oh, Johnny, Johnny shot the German 

Lord, an he shot him through the head 

He ran out the do' 

And he fell on the sidewalk, dead 

When Frankie 

Frankie, got the news 

The jury want him dead 

She come runnin', hollin' 

Lord, talkin' all out her head 

Well, Johnny started to runnin' 

Lord, and he didn't no where to do 

They found Johnny hollin' 

In the grocery store next door 

Then the policeman 

Handcuffed and beat him 

And they took Johnny out of sight 

He said, 'That's alright, Frankie 

Ev'rything gonna be alright' 

(Aaaaah!) 

(Instrumental) 

'Alright!' 

Te-na, Te-na-ne-na 

Te-na-na, Na-ne-na 

Te-na, Na-na-na 

Te-na, Na-na, na-ne-na.
