Frankie and Johnny Lyrics

I wanna tell you ′bout Frankie, yeah, and Johnny
They were lovers, yes they were, uh-huh
I just wanna tell you how they could love, love, oh yeah
They were true to each other, yeah
Just as true as the stars above

He was her man, he was her man
But he done her wrong, yes he did, he done her wrong

Frankie went down to the depot, yes she did, uh-huh
They tell me that she looked in a window so high, high, oh yeah
When she saw her lover Johnny, yeah
Oh, with his arm around another's bride

He was her man, he was her man
But he done her wrong, yes he did, he done her wrong

They tell me that Frankie shot Johnny once, oh-oh
They tell me that Frankie shot Johnny twice, oh yeah
But the third time she shot him
That bullet took his life

The judge said to Frankie, yes he did, uh-huh
Just as plain as plain can be, oh, oh yeah
You are charged to love with Johnny, yeah
(Murder!)
In the first degree

He was her man, he shot her man
But he done her wrong, yes he did, he done her wrong

Ooh yeah
