Lyrics Frankie And Johnny (Parts 1 & 2) [Remastered] - Lena Horne
Frankie
and
Johnny
were
sweethearts,
Boy,
how
they
could
love!
Swore
to
be
true
to
each
other,
True
as
the
stars
above!
′Cause
he
was
her
man,
But
he
done
her
wrong!
One
night
Frankie
happened
to
pass
by
the
hotel;
Just
casually
glanced
into
a
window
so
high,
And
who
did
she
see
but
her
lovin'
man
Lovin′
up
old
Nellie
Bligh!
She
caught
her
man
Doin'
her
wrong!
Well,
she
went
round
the
corner
to
her
favourite
pawn
shop;
This
time
she
didn't
go
there
for
fun!
′Cause
when
she
left,
underneath
her
long
red
kimono,
She
was
totin′
a
forty-four
gun!
She
was
gunnin'
for
her
man
Who
was
doin′
her
wrong!
Then
back
Frankie
dashed
to
that
hotel,
Started
yankin'
the
bell!
She
said,
"Stand
back,
you
madam
and
floozies,
Or
I′ll
blow
each
and
every
one
of
you
straight
to
hell!
I
want
my
man
Who's
done
me
wrong!".
Johnnie,
in
panic,
mounted
the
staircase,
Screamin′,
"Oh
Frankie,
don't
shoot!"
Three
times
she
pulled
a
trigger
on
a
forty-four
gun,
The
gun
went,
"Root-toot-toot!".
She
nailed
her
man
Who'd
done
her
wrong!
So
they
put
her
away
in
a
dungeon,
Way
up
in
a
dark
dingy
cell
In
the
south
east
corner
of
a
jail,
Where
the
wind
seemed
to
blow
straight
from
hell!
For
killin′
her
man
Who
done
her
wrong!
But
the
day
Frankie
mounted
the
scaffold,
She
was
just
as
calm
as
any
gal
could
be!
And
raising
her
eyes
to
heaven
she
cried,
"Lord,
I′m
comin'
to
thee!
I′m
sorry
I
killed
my
man
Who
done
me
wrong!".
