Never been to New York City, spent a week in ole London town I'm gonna now tell you a story: love gone wrong, and murder gone down He was her man, but he done her wrong Frankie and Johnny were lovers, oh Lordy, how they could love They swore to be true to each other, just as true as the stars above He was her man but he done her wrong Johnny said, "I've got to leave you, but I won't be very long Don't you wait up for me, honey, don't worry while I'm gone He was her man but he done her wrong Frankie went down to the corner, stopped in to buy her some beer Says to that bartender, Has my Johnny man been her He was her man, but he done her wrong Well, I ain't gonna tell you no stories, ain't gonna tell you no lie Johnny went buy 'bout an hour ago, with a gal named Nellie Bly He is your man, ask me, he's doin' you wrong Frankie went home in a hurry, she didn't go there for fun She hurried home to get a hold of Johnny's shooting gun He was her man, but he's doing her wrong Frankie went down to South Clark Street, looked in a window so high Saw Johnny, her main, a lovin' up that high-brow Nellie Bly He was her man but he's done her wrong Johnny saw Frankie a-coming, out the back door he did scoot But Frankie took aim with her pistol, and the gun went roota-toot-toot He was her man but he done her wrong O, roll me over so easy, roll me over so slow Roll me over boys, easy, 'cause my wounds they hurt me so I was her man but I done her wrong Now you bring me your long black coffin, bring out your funeral clothes Johnny's gone an' cashed his chips, to the graveyard I must go He was her man but he done her wrong Drive out your rubber tired carriage, drive out your rubber tired hack There's twelve men going to the graveyard, but, count 'em, eleven comin' back He was her man but he done her wrong The sheriff arrested poor Frankie, he took her to jail the same day He locked her up in the dungeon cell, and he threw the key away He was her man, but he done her wrong This story got no moral, this story got no end This story just goes to show, that there ain't no good in men He was her man and he's done her wrong
