Anika Noni Rose - Frankie And Johnny lyrics

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts Oh what a couple in love Swore to be true to each other True as the stars above He was her man but he done her wrong Frankie went down to the corner A bucket of beer to buy The bartender told her that Johnny Was making love to Nellie Bly He was her man he was doing her wrong Frankie went home in a hurry She didnt go there for fun Frankie went home just to get a hold Of her own .44 He was her man but he done her wrong Frankie peeked in on the party She got a surprise when she saw Nellie and Johnny making love Sipping something through a straw She caught her man, he was doing her wrong Johnny in a panic mounted the staircase Screaming Oh, Frankie please dont do it! She pulled that trigger and rooty-toot-toot Three times she did shoot He was her man but he done her wrong Now bring round your crpe and your flowers Bring round your rubber-tired hack Taking my man to the graveyard I aint gonna bring him back He was my man but he done me wrong Now this story has no moral And this story has got no end This story just goes to show you women That there aint no good in men He was her man but he done her wrong
