Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts At least that's the way the story goes Frankie bought everything for Johnny From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes  Oh, he was a man alright Oh, but he was doing her wrong Just to show you what can happen  A friend came running to Frankie She said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie I saw your man riding in his Jaguar With a chick named Nellie Blye  Oh, if he was your man, honey Let me tell you he was doing you wrong Let me tell the story  Frankie ran around the corner And peeked in a swinging place And there she saw Johnny with a woman He had his arms around her waist  Oh, he was a man alright But Frankie could see that he was doing her wrong And oh, let me tell you  Frankie reached down in her pocketbook And up with a long forty-four She shot once, twice, three times And Johnny fell on the hard wood floor  Oh, he was a man alright But she shot him because he was doing her wrong  But the last thing he told her was Frankie, you know I love you Why?
