Текст песни Frankie And Johnny - Live - Sam Cooke

We're just gonna have a little fun tonight
It's all we wanna do, relax and have some fun
Here's a nice, very nice, wonderful story
One of our favorites
Say's simply...

Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts
That's the way the story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnny
From his Cadillac to his Ivy League clothes
Aw, he was sharp alright
Oh, but he was doing her wrong
Just to show you what can happen, look

A friend came running to Frankie
And said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie, look honey
I saw your man ridin' in that Cadillac
With a chick named Nellie Blye, look
Said, oh, if he was your man honey
Said, let me tell you he was doing you wrong
No, let me tell the story

Frankie dashed around the corner
Peeked in a swinging place, look here
And there she saw ol' Johnny with a woman
He had his arms around her waist
Oh, he was a man alright
But Frankie could see that he was
Doing her wrong
And, oh, let me tell the fellas what happened

Frankie reached down in her pocketbook, you know that thing
And up with a long forty-four
She shot once, and, three times
And Johnny fell on the hardwood floor
Oh, 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 that I love you, baby
Why you wanna do it Frankie?
Now, I was telling her about you
Frankie, now you know that I love you, baby, look
Now you know that I love you
Yeah, yeah, love for you baby

Crazy 'bout your Frankie
Why would I wanna ruin you darling
After all you've done for me, you see
Don't you know that I'm your man?
And I'll never, never do ya
Wrong, hah, yeah
Don't you know I wouldn't treat you wrong?
