Frankie & Johnnie
(Sung by Gene Autry - 1932)


Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts,
They had a quarrel one day;
Frankie accused her Johnny
Of givin' his peter away,
To a gal - and he was doin' her wrong.

So Frankie went down to the whorehouse,
She went in ringin' the bell,
She said, Stand back, all you whores and pimps,
Or I blow you all into hell,
You've got my man - and doin' me wrong.

Well, one whore said to Frankie,
Said, Looky here, young gal -
We've got yo' lovin' Johnny,
And he's back 'ere givin' us hell,
He's your man - and he's doin' me [sic] wrong.

So Frankie went down to that sayloon,
She took with her a gun,
She said, Stand back, you red-headed whores,
'Cause I'm goin' to blow you in one,
You got my man - and he's doin' me wrong.
