frankie and johnny - slim dusty lyrics

Loading...

[slim & joy]
frankie and johnnie were sweethearts,
and oh, what a couple in love!
so wanted to be true to each other,
just as true as the stars up above,
he was her man, he wouldn’t do her wrong.

[slim]
and johnny said, “i must be goin’
but i won’t be gone very long,
don’t ya wait up for me, my darlin’
and don’t ya worry over me when i’m gone
‘cos i’m your man, i’ll never do no wrong.”

[joy]
well frankie went down to the corner,
just to buy herself just a bottle of beer.
and said to the best bartender,
“has my loving johnny been here
he’s my man and he wouldn’t do me wrong.”
[slim] no wrong.

[slim & joy]
well i don’t wish to cause you no trouble miss,
i don’t wish to tell you no lies;
but i saw your johnny about an hour ago
with a girl named nelly bly,
he’s your man, that no good man, i think he’s doing
wrong.”

[joy]
well frankie went back to the hardware,
for she didn’t go there for fun [slim] here we go
again,
so she said to the guy at the counter,
i want a great big shiny gun
because i’m after my man, cause he done me wrong.”

[slim & joy]
then frankie goes back to the corner
and looked in the window so high
there was her no good johnny,
a-makin’ love to nelly bly.
he was her man, but he was doin’ wrong.

[slim]
so frankie stepped back in the shadows;
and drew out that long forty-four;
[slim and joy]
and root-a-toot-toot, three times she shoot
right through that hardwood door,
she shot her man, ‘cos he was doin’ wrong.

[slim]
roll me over so easy,
roll me over so slow,
roll me over easy boys,
’cause my wound’s hurtin’ me so.
i was her man, but i done her wrong.

[slim & joy]
bring out your advertised buggys.
bring out your old horses in black,
there’s 12 men a-goin’ to the graveyard,
but only 11 are a-coming back.
she shot her man,
[joy]
i shot my man
[slim and joy] ‘cos he was doin’ wrong.

[slim]
and this story has no moral,
and this story has no end,
this story just goes to show you
[joy]
that there ain’t no good in men,
[slim
hey there
[slim and joy]
she shot her man, ‘cos he was doing her wrong.
