Now Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh Lord how they did love
C G
Swore to be true to each other true as the stars above
D7 G
He was her man but he wouldn't do her wrong
Now Frankie went down to the corner
Just for a bucket of beer
C G
She said Mr. Bartender has my loving Johnny been here
D7 G
He's my man he wouldn't do me wrong
I don't want to cause you no trouble
Woman I ain't gonna lie
C G
But I saw your lover an hour ago with a girl named Nellie Blie
D7 G
He's your man but he's doing you wrong
Now Frankie looked over the transom
She saw to her surprise
