THB BARTENDER'S GtnDE AND SONG BOOK

Frankie and Johnnie

Frankie and Johnnie were lovers, 0 my gawd how they did love, They swore to be true to each other as the bright stars up above, He was her man, and he done her wrong.

Frankie she was a good woman, Just like everyone knows, She'd give a man a hundred dollars, Just to buy himself a suit of clothes~ But he was her man, etc.

Frankie and Johnnie went walking, Johnnie in his brand new suit, "Oh-my-gawd," said Frankie, "But don't my Johnnie look cute'!" He was her man, etc.

Frankie went down to Memphis, She went on the morning train, She paid a hundred dollars, For Johnnie a watch and chain, He was her man, etc.
