Carl Martin - Frankie & Johnny lyrics

Frankie and Johnny were lovers, Lordy, how they could love And they swore to be true to each other, just as true as the stars above He was her man, but he done her wrong Frankie went down to the barroom, get her a stein of beer She said, "Looky-here, Mr. bartender, has my Johnny been here? He's my man, but he's doin' me wrong" "I ain't gonna tell you no story, ain't gonna tell you no lie Yes, your Johnny's down here 'bout an hour ago, with a girl he called Nellie Blye He's your man, yes, but he's doin' you wrong" Frankie went down to the hardware, didn't go there for fun Yes, she went down to that hardware to get herself a gun To shoot her man, because he was doin' her wrong "Well, turn me over easy, turn me over slow Turn me over easy, because I'm hurting so I'm your man, but I've done you wrong"
