frankie and me we were lovers
oh lordy how we did love
swore we’d be true to each other
just as true as stars above
i was her man she caught me doing her wrong
my luck in poker was fading
when a new gal caught my eye
i gambled i tried to change my luck
with a chick named nellie bly
i was frankie’s man but i was doing her wrong
yeah frankie came looking to find me
yes she wasn’t looking for fun
for in her sweet loving hand
she was toting’ a 44 gun
to shoot her man if he was doing’ her wrong
4
well frankie looked into the bar room
and right there in front of her eyes
there was her loving johnny
making love to that nellie bly
i was her man she caught me doing her wrong
5
frankie i beg 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 hell
i’m your man i know i done you wrong
6
easy roll me over real easy
easy roll me over real slow
roll me over real gently
cause my wound hurts me so
well i was her man
well i done her wrong
7
well frankie told johnny
well this is the end of my song
i was her man well i done her wrong
well hey hey hey hey hey
