 "This is, this is the, huh, this is the first song I ever learned, actually" 
 
 Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
 Lordy, how they could love
 Swore to be true to each other
 Yeah, true to the skies above
 He was her man, wouldn't do her no wrong 
 
 And Frankie and Johnny went walkin'
 And Johnny had on a new suit
 Yeah, Frankie spent one-hundred dollar notes
 Just to make her man look cute
 He was her man, he wouldn't do her no wrong 
 
 Frankie went over to the barroom
 Stopped for a bottle of beer
 Said to the old bartender man
 "Has my lover Johnny man been here?"
 "He was my man, Lord, but he'd been doin' me wrong, so wrong." 
 
 Yeah Frankie looked over the transom door
 And then to her great surprise
 There sat her lover man Johnny
 Makin' love to Nellie Bly
 He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong 
 
 Well Frankie lifted up her kimono dress
 And she drew (ladaladalala) out a little .44 
 She shot once, twice, three times (three times) she shot him
 And through that hardwood (door) floor
 Yeah she shot her man (yeah he was her man)
 Well but he been doin' her wrong yeah 
 
 He said, "roll me over so careful ah
 Roll me over so slow,
 Oh roll me on to my left hand side,
 Because your bullet hurt me so,
 I was your man, but I been doin' you wrong." 
 
 Play it Chris! 
 
 (Instrumental) 
 
 Well they sent for Frankie's mother
 Come down to Huddy's saloon
 To see what's the matter with her boy
 She come down, Frankie looked up at her
 Here what she said: 
 
 She said, "Oh Mrs. Johnson, oh forgive me please
 Well I killed your lovin' son, Johnny
 But I'm down on my bended knee
 I shot your man, 'cause he was doin' me wrong." ah 
 
 She said, "I'll forgive you Frankie,"
 She said, "I'll forgive you not, not
 For killin' my lovin' son Johnny,
 He's the only support that I've got,
 'Cause you shot my man and he was doin' you wrong." 
 
 Well the last time I seen Frankie
 She was a-sittin' in a dungeon cell
 She would be there moanin', herself
 With no one there to care
 She shot her man, a he'd been doin' her wrong, so wrong 
 
 Well bring out the overtime hearse all day long
 You gotta bring out the pony and truck hey
 They're gonna take Johnny, Johnny to the cemetary (graveyard)
 And they ain't never coming back
 Oh he was her man, oh but he been doin' her wrong, so wrong 
 
 Well the story ain't got no moral, Lordy
 But the story ain't got no end
 Well the story only goes to show
 That there ain't no damn good in men
 He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong
 Yeah, ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba
