Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Well, Frankie looked into the barroom And right there in front of her eye There was her loving Johnny Making love to that Nellie Bly I was her man, she caught me doing her wrong [Verse 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 [Verse 6] Easy roll me over, real easy Easy roll me over, real slow Roll me over real gently 'Cause my wound, it hurts me so I was her man, well, I done her wrong [Verse 7] Well, Frankie told Johnny Well, this is the end of my song I was her man, well, I done her wrong Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Done her wrong
