Lirik dan Chord Lagu Frankie and Johnny - Burl Ives

And she drew (ladaladalala) out a little .44
D
She shot once, twice, three times (three times)
                                                                  A
she shot him and through that hardwood door
E 
Yeah, she shot her man (yeah he was her man)
                                                    A
Well, but he been doin' her wrong yeah

A
He said," roll me over so careful ah

Roll me over so slow,
D 
Oh roll me off to my left hand side,
                                            A
Because your bullet hurt me so,
E                                                A
I was your man, but I been doin' you wrong"

Well, they sent for Frankie's mother
Come down to Huddie's saloon
To see what's the matter with her boy
She come down, Frankie looked up at her
Here what she said:

A
She said, "Oh Mrs. Johnson, oh forgive me please
D 
Well I killed your lovin' son, Johnny
                                          A
But I'm down on my bended knee
E                                                         A
I shot your man, 'cause he was doin' me wrong ah'

A
She said, "I'll forgive you Frankie,

She said, I'll forgive you not, not
       D                                  
For killin' lovin' son Johnny,
                                           A
He's the only support that I've got,
                          E                                              A
'Lord, you shot my man and he was doin' you wrong."

A
Well, the last time I seen Frankie

She was a-sittin' in a dungeon cell
D 
She would be there lonely,
                                              A
herself with no one there to care
E 
She shot her man,
                                              A
he'd been doin' her wrong, so wrong

A
Well, bring out the rubber tired (hearse) so long

You gotta bring out your pony and trap
D                  A
Yeah, they're gonna take Johnny,

Johnny to the cemetery and he ain't never coming back
                            E  
Well, he was her man
                                           A
Oh, but he been doin' her wrong, so wrong

A
Well, the story ain't got no moral, Lordy

But the story ain't got no end
D 
Well, the story only goes to show
                                                A
That there ain't no damn good in men
                       E 
She shot her man (he was her man)
                                  A
But he was doin' her wrong
