FRANKIE’S MAN JOHNNY
 
E                   
Well, now, Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts;

They were true as a blue, blue sky.
A                                                           E 
He was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked wanderin' eye,
               B7                    E                                 
But he was her man nearly all of the time.

E 
Well, Johnny, he packed up to leave her, But he promised he'd be back.
A                                                               E 
He said he had a little pickin' to do a little farther down the track.
                   B7                     E                          
He said, "I'm your man; I wouldn't do you wrong."

E      
Well, Frankie curled up on the sofa, Thinkin' about her man.
A                                                     E 
Far away the couples were dancin' to the music of his band.
                 B7                       E             
He was Frankie's man; he wasn't doin' her wrong.

 
Then in the front door walked a red head ,Johnny saw her right away.
A                                                    E
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while he played.
                 B7                   E                                  
He was Frankie's man, but she was far away.

   E
He sang ev'ry song to the redhead, She smiled back at him.
A                                                            E 
Then he came and sat by her table, where the lights were low and dim.
                    B7                     E                          
What Frankie didn't know wouldn't hurt her none.

E 
Then the redhead jumped up an slapped him;

She slapped him a time or two.
A                                                        E 
She said, "I'm Frankie's sister and I was checkin' up on you.
              B7                       E       
If you're her man you better treat her right."
 
E
Well, the moral of this story Is be good but carry a stick.
A                                                               E 
Sometimes it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell what to pick.
                 B7                               E                            
He was Frankie's man, and he still ain't done her wrong
