Frankie and Johnny were Schweethawts
Thomas M. Kelly
- Frankie
- and
- Johnny
- were
- sweethearts,
oh
- lordy
- how
- they
- could
- love
They
- promised
- to
- be
- true
- to
- each
- other,
just
- as
- long
- as
- there
- were
- skies
- above
He
- was
- her
- man,
- and
- wouldn't
- do
- her
- wrong
Johnny
- said
- "I'm
- gonna
- leave
- you,
- I
- won't
- be
- gone
- very
- long
You
- wait
- right
- here
- honey,
- don'cha
- ya
- worry
- none
- while
- I'm
- gone
I
- am
- your
- man,
- and
- wouldn't
- do
- you
- wrong
Frankie
- went
- down
- to
- the
- barroom,
- she
- went
- for
- a
- bucket
- of
- beer
"Hey
- there
- Mr.
- Bartender
- has
- my
- lovin'
- Johnny
- been
- here
He
- is
- my
- man
- and
- wouldn't
- do
- me
- wrong"
"Well
- I
- wouldn't
- want
- to
- cause
- you
- no
- trouble,
- but
- I
- ain't
- gonna
- tell
- you
- a
- lie
Johnny
- left
- here
- about
- a
- minute
- ago
- with
- that
- lowdown
- Nelly
- Bly
He
- is
- your
- man,
- but
- he's
- been
- doin'
- you
- wrong"
Frankie
- went
- lookin'
- for
- Johnny,
- she
- didn't
- do
- it
- for
- fun
She
- sneaked
- right
- up
- behind
- the
- Sheriff,
- and
- pinched
- his
- forty
- four
- gun
He
- was
- her
- man
- and
- he
- was
- doin'
- her
- wrong
Johnny
- he
- grabbed
- off
- his
- Stetson,
- "Oh
- lordy
- don't
- shoot"
But
- Frankie
- had
- her
- finger
- on
- the
- trigger,
- and
- the
- gun
- went
- rooty
- toot
- toot
She
- shot
- him
- down,
- 'cause
- he
- was
- doin'
- her
- wrong
"Roll
- me
- over
- easy,
- roll
- me
- over
- so
- slow
"Roll
- me
- over
- on
- my
- left
- side,
- 'cause
- the
- bullet
- hurts
- me
- so
"I
- was
- your
- man,
- but
- I
- was
- doin'
- you
- wrong"
Frankie
- ran
- over
- to
- Johnny,
- she
- knelt
- down
- on
- her
- knees
Oh
- lover
- forgive
- me,
- forgive
- me
- if
- you
- please
'cause
- you
- were
- my
- man
- but
- you
- were
- doin'
- me
- wrong.
This
- story
- got
- no
- moral,
- this
- story
- got
- no
- end.
It
- only
- goes
- to
- show
- you,
- that
- there
- ain't
- no
- good
- in
- men.
He
- was
- her
- man
- and
- he
- was
- doin'
- her wrong.
