I wanna tell you about Frankie yeah and Johnny They were lovers, yes they were, ooh I just wanna tell you how they could love, love, ooh yeah They were true to each other, yeah Just as true as the stars above He was her man He was her man But he done her wrong, yes he did He done her wrong (Johnny done Frankie wrong) Frankie went down to the dead pond, yes she did, ooh And told me that she looked at a window so high, high, ooh yeah When she saw her lover Johnny, yeah Whipping his arms around in the sky He was her man He was her man But he done her wrong, yes he did He done her wrong (he done her wrong) They told me that Frankie shot Johnny once, ooh-ooh-ooh They told me that Frankie shot Johnny twice, ooh yeah But the bullet touch is shining That bullet took his life Johnny said to Frankie, yes he did, oh Just as plain as flan can be, oh, ooh, ooh yeah "You have shot your loving Johnny yeah" (Murder) and the first-degree He was her man (you shot your man) You shot your man But he done her wrong, yes he did He done her wrong Done her Frankie, ooh yeah Done her Frankie Done her Frankie
