FWell now Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
They were true as a blue, blue sky
FHe was a long-legged guitar-picker
With a wicked, wondering Geye
But he was her man nearly all of the Ftime
Well Johnny he packed up a leaven'
But he promised he'd be back
He Fsaid he had a little picking' to do
A little further down the Ftrack
He said,"I'm Gyour man, I wouldn't do Fyou wrong"
Well Frankie curled up on the sofa
Thinkin' about her man
FFar away couples were dancin' to the music of his Fband
He was Frankie's mGan he wasn't doin' her wFrong
Then in the front door walked a redhead
Johnny saw her right away
She cFame down by the bandstand to watch him while he pFlayed
He was Frankie's mGan but she was far Faway
He sang another song to the redhead
She smiled back at him
Then he Fcame and sat at her table
Where the lights were low and Fdim
What Frankie didn't Gknow wouldn't hurt her Fnone
Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him
She slapped him a time or two
She sFaid,"I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking uFp on you"
"If you'reG her man you'd better treatF her right"
Well the moral of this story
Is be good but carry a stick
FSometimes it looks like a guitar-picker
Just can't tell what to Fpick
He was Frankie's mGan and he still ain't done her wFrong
