Pearl Bailey - Frankie and Johnny lyrics

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 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 He was your man honey, oh and he was doing you wrong Let me tell the story Frankie ran around the corner And peeked in a swinging place There she saw Johnny with the woman He had his arms around her waist Aw, 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 to the hard wood floor Aw, he was a man alright but Frankie shot him because he was Doing her wrong But the last thing he told her was Frankie, you know I love you Why? Honey why did you do that? Frankie, I was telling her about you Frankie, you know I love you Frankie, you know that I love you Yeah, yeah , yeah, yeah Now Frankie, you know darn well that I love you Frankie, I'll always love you baby Frankie, you know I can't do without you Frankie, you know I love you And I know, I know I was doing You wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong Now Frankie, you know darn well that I love you
