Artist/Band: Sam Cooke
Lyrics for Song: Frankie And Johnny
Lyrics for Album: Sam Cooke - Greatest Hits [1998]



Frankie and Johnny was sweethearts

At least thats the way the story goes

Frankie bought everything for Johnny

From his sports car to his Ivy League clothes



He was a man alright

Oh

But he was doing her wrong

Just to show you what can happen



A friend came running to Frankie

She said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie

I saw your man riding in his Jaguar with a chick named Nellie Blye



He was your man honey

Oh

And he was doing you wrong

Let me tell the story



Frankie ran around the corner

And peeked in a swinging place

There she saw Johnny with the woman

He had his arms around her waist



Awww

He was a man alright

But Frankie could see that he was doing her wrong

And

Oh

Let me tell you



Frankie reached down in her pocketbook

And up with a long forty-four she shot once

Twice

Three times and Johnny fell to the hard wood floor



Awww

He was a man alright

But Frankie shot him because he was doing her wrong



But the last thing he told her was Frankie you know I love you

Why

Honey why did you do that

Frankie I was telling her about you

Frankie you know I love you

Frankie you know that I love you

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Now Frankie you know darn well that I love you

Frankie

I'll always love you baby

Frankie you know I can't do without you

Frankie you know I love you

And I know

I know I was doing you wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Now Frankie you know darn well that I love you

Frankie
