Frankie & Johnny Testo

Testo Frankie & Johnny

Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts But he was doin' her wrong He was doin' her wrong in a bad way But she was good and strong He was her man, but he was a jerk Was in a hotel with Nellie Blye And the gun went rooty-toot-toot Shot the bastard in the heart And ruined his nice suit He was her man, but he was no damn good So they took him up to the graveyard And stuck him in the dirt Which was oh-so very sad, And a waste of a nice clean shirt He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong He had no idea what happened He was waving hello to God He died from eating squirrel, And they laid him in the sun He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong So that was Frankie and Johnny And that's the end of my song She put a hose in his tailpipe 'Cause he had done her wrong He was her man, and that's all she wrote
