《Frankie and Johnnie - Original》歌词

[00:00:00] Frankie and Johnnie - Original - Ethel Waters

[00:00:05] Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts

[00:00:09] Boy how they could love

[00:00:13] Swore to be true to each other

[00:00:17] True as the stars above

[00:00:20] 'Cause he was her man

[00:00:23] But he done her wrong

[00:00:28] One night Frankie happened to pass by the hotel

[00:00:33] Just casually glanced into a window so high

[00:00:37] And who did she see but her loving man

[00:00:41] Loving up old Nellie Bligh

[00:00:43] She caught her man

[00:00:47] Doing her wrong

[00:00:51] Well she went round the corner to her favourite pawn shop

[00:00:56] This time she didn't go there for fun

[00:01:00] 'Cause when she left underneath her long red kimono

[00:01:04] She was toting a forty-four gun

[00:01:06] She was gunning for her man

[00:01:10] Who was doing her wrong

[00:01:15] Then back Frankie dashed to that hotel

[00:01:20] Started yanking the bell

[00:01:22] She said stand back you madam and floozies

[00:01:26] Or I'll blow each and every one of you straight to hell

[00:01:30] I want my man

[00:01:34] Who's done me wrong

[00:01:39] Johnnie in panic mounted the staircase

[00:01:43] Screaming oh Frankie don't shoot

[00:01:46] Three times she pulled a trigger on a forty-four gun

[00:01:50] The gun went

[00:01:51] Root toot toot

[00:01:53] She nailed her man

[00:01:57] Who'd done her wrong

[00:02:01] So they put her away in a dungeon

[00:02:07] Way up in a dark dingy cell

[00:02:10] In the south east corner of a jail

[00:02:13] Where the wind seemed to blow straight from hell

[00:02:17] For killing her man

[00:02:21] Who done her wrong

[00:02:25] But the day Frankie mounted the scaffold

[00:02:32] She was just as calm as any gal could be

[00:02:36] And raising her eyes to heaven she cried

[00:02:39] Lord I'm coming to thee

[00:02:44] I'm sorry I killed my man

[00:02:51] Who done me wrong
