¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
On the original recording Lonnie seems to mix up personal pronouns and names a few times
so I've written it
to fit what made most sense to me, some lines aren't entirely accurate but I believe
they work well enough.
Also some lines I couldn't quite figure out for the life of me so I wrote my best approximations.
(Also edited this to fix a few issues)
E
Ah well Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Lordy how they could love
A
Ah, they swore to be true to each other
E
Just as true as the skies above
B7 E
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
E
Well Frankie and Johnny went walking
Johnny had on a new suit
A
Yeah Frankie spent one hundred dollars
E
Just to make her man look cute
B7 E
He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong.
E
"Well Frankie see, I'm gonna leave you
But I wont be very long.
A
Ah, don't you wait up for me honey,
E
Don't you worry while I'm gone.
B7 E
I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong."
E
So Frankie walked down to the Huddy saloon
And she called for a bottle of beer.
A
And she said to the old bar-tender man
E
"Has my loving Johnny man been here?
B7 E
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong."
E
"Well see I don't want to cause you no trouble,
Well I don't want to tell you no lies
A
Yeah I see your Johnny
E
Making love with Nelly Bly.
B7 E
He was your man, but he been doing you wrong, so wrong."
E
So Frankie walked over to the transit-door
And there to her great surprise
A
There sat her lover Johnny
E
Making love with Nelly Bly
B7 E
He was her man, but he being her wrong, so wrong.
E
So as Nelly lifted up her kimono dress
Drew a little 44
A
Hey rum-tum-tum, three times she shot him,
E
Right through that hardwood door
B7 E
She shot her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong.
E
He said "Roll me over so careful
Hey, roll me over so slow
A
Hey, roll me onto my left side
E
Your bullets they hurt me so
B7 E
I was your man, but I been doing your wrong, so wrong".
E (Spoken fast over E chord)
They sent for Johnny's mother, she come down to the Huddy saloon asking what's the
matter with her boy and
what's he talking about
E
He said "Oh Mrs Johnson
See what your son has got
A
Don't be rockin', a' don't be stompin'
E
But your little Johnny-boy's been shot
B7 E
He was her man, but he been doing her wrong, so wrong"
E
She said "oh Mrs Johnson
Oh forgive me please
A
I know I killed your loving son Johnny
E
But I'm down on a bended knee
B7 E
I shot your man, but he was doing me wrong, so wrong.
E
She said "I forgive you Frankie"
She said "I forgive you not"
A
"Oh you killed my loving son Johnny
E
He was the only boy I got
B7 E
You shot my man, ah he was doing you wrong, so wrong."
E
And last time I see Frankie
She was still in a dungeon cell
A
All day weeping, all day moaning
E
Cos his soul is going down to hell
B7,
She shot her man, but he was doing her wrong, so wrong.
E
She said "Now bring your drum and tired hearses
And a bring up your pony and trap
A
I'm gonna takea' my Johnny to the grave yard
E
I ain'ta gonna bring him back
B7 E
He was my man, but he been doing me wrong, so wrong".
E
Hey the story aint had no moral
Well the story aint got no end
A
Well the story only goes to show show you
E
There's no damn good in men
B7 E
She shot her man, and he was doing her wrong.
