Frankie and Johnny were lovers,
Oh Lord, how those two could love.
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 bar-room,
To get a bottle of beer;
She went and asked the bartender,
“Has my loving man been here?”
He was her man but he done her wrong.
Bartender said this to Frankie:
“Ain’t going to tell you no lie;
I saw your Johnny go upstairs
With a girl named Sally Bly.”
He was her man but he done her wrong.
Frankie went up the stairway;
She wasn’t going for un,
For in her pocket she carried
A mean ol’ forty-one gun.
He was her man but he done her wrong.
Riding a rubber-tyred buggy,
Followed the coffin in black:
Frankie took Johnny to the graveyard,
But only she is coming back.
He was her man but he done her wrong.
