Testo Frankie & Jonny - Brook Benton
Testo della canzone Frankie & Jonny (Brook Benton), tratta dall'album Rainy Night in Georgia
Little Frankie went down to the barroom
She asked for a glass of beer
She said, "Hey bartender, has my Johnny been here?
He's my man, but he's done me wrong"
The bartender said, "Frankie, you know I won't tell you no lie
He left here about a minute ago with a gal named Alice Fry
He's your man, but he's doing you wrong"
Frankie was a good little woman
Surely everybody knows
She paid one hundred dollars
For Johnny's new suit of clothes
She loved her man, but he done her wrong
Well then Frankie went down Broadway
With a razor in her hand
She said, "Stand back all you women
I'm looking for my cheating man
Yes, he's my man, but he done me wrong"
It was on a Friday morning
About a half past nine o'clock
Frankie pulled her .44
And fired three fatal shots
She shot her man 'cause he done her wrong
(Why don't you run, Frankie?)
They said
(Frankie, why don't you run?)
'Cause here come the chief of police
With the .44 smokeless gun
"You killed your man
We know he done you wrong"
Yes, he done you wrong, Frankie
You should have shot him forty times
I'm a witness, Frankie
I was there when you shot that man
