Frankie And Johnny Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts oh Lordy how they did love 

Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above 

He was her man he was doing her wrong 

Frankie went down to the corner just for a bucket of beer 

She says Mr Bartender has my loving Johnny been here 

He's my man he was doing me wrong 

I don't want cause you no trouble I ain't gonna tell you no lie 

I saw your lover an hour ago with a gal named Nellie Bligh 

He is your man and he's doing you wrong 

Frankie looked over in transom she saw to her surprise 

There on the cab sat Johnny making love to Nellie Blie 

He is my man and he's doing me wrong 

Frankie drew back to her kimono she took out a little 44 

Rutty too too three times she shot right through that hardwood door 

She shot her man he was doing her wrong 

Bring out the rubber tied buggy bring out the rubber tied hack 

I'm taking my man to the graveyard but I ain't gonna bring him back 

Lord he was my man and he's done me wrong 

Bring out a thousand policemen bring 'em around today 

And locked me down in the dungeon cell and throw that key away 

I shot my man he was doing me wrong 

Frankie she said to the warden what are they going to do 

The warden he said to Frankie it's a electric chair for you 

Cause you shot your man he was doing you wrong 

This story has no moral this story has no end 

This story just goes to show that there ain't no good in man 

He was her man and he's done her wrong
