Eb F Bb
Well, now, Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts.
Bbm Bb
They were true as a blue, blue sky.

He was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked

wanderin' eye.
F Bb
But he was her man, nearly all of the time.

Well, Johnny he packed up to leave her, but he
F Bb
promised he'd be back.

He said he had a little pickin' to do a little
Bb
farther down the track.
F Bb
He said, I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong.
#3.
Bb
Well, Frankie curled up on the sofa, thinkin' about
her man.

Far away the couples were dancing to the music of his

band.

He was Frankie's man, he wasn't doin' her wrong.

Then in the front door walked a redhead, Johnny saw her
right away.

She came down by the bandstand to watch him while

he played.
F Bb
He was Frankie's man, but she was far away.

He sang every song to the redhead, she smiled back at him.

Then he came and sat at her table where the lights were

low and dim.

What Frankie didn't know, wouldn't hurt her none.

Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him.

She slapped him a time or two.
Eb Bb
She said, I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on you.
F Bb
If you're her man, you better treat her right.
OUTRO:

Well, the moral of this story is be good but carry a stick.

Bb
what to pick.
F Bb
He was Frankie's man and he still ain't done her wrong.
