Frankie and me
we were lovers
Oh Lordy
how did we love
Swore we'd be
true to each other
Just as true as
the stars above
I was her man
She caught me
doin' her wrong
My luck at
poker was failin'
When a new
girl caught my eye
I gamabled
I tried to change my luck
with a chick namaed
Nelly Bliegh
I was Frankie's man but
I was doing her wrong
Yeah Frankie camae
lookin' to find me
Yeah she wasn't
lookin' for fun
For in her sweet
lovin' hands
She was a totin'
a forty-four gun
To shoot a man if he
was doin' her wrong
Yeah Frankie looked into
the bar room and right
there in front of her eyes
There was her lovin'
Johnny makin' love
to that Nelly Bliegh
I was her man
She caught me
doin' her wrong
Yeah Frankie I begged
Please don't shoot me
Well they'll put
you away in a cell
You know they'll
put you where the
cold wind blows from
the hottest corner of ****
I ama your man
I know I done you wrong
You roll me
over real easy
You roll me
over real slow
You roll me
over real gently
'Cause my wound
hurts me so
I was her man
Well I done her wrong
Well Frankie told Johnny
Well this is the
end of my song
I was her man and
I done her wrong
Hey hey hey hey hey
Done her wrong
