#1.
EbWell, Fnow, BbFrankie and Johnny were sweethearts.
BbmThey were Bbtrue as a blue, blue sky.
EbHe was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked
wanderin' Bbeye.
But he was her Fman, nearly all of the Bbtime.
#2.
BbWell, Johnny he packed up to leave her, but he
promised Fhe'd be Bbback.
He Ebsaid he had a little pickin' to do a little
farther down the Bbtrack.
He said, I'm your Fman, I wouldn't do you Bbwrong.
#3.
BbWell, Frankie curled up on the sofa, thinkin' about
her man.
EbFar away the couples were dancing to the music of his
Bbband.
He was Frankie's Fman, he wasn't doin' her Bbwrong.
#4.
BbThen in the front door walked a redhead, Johnny saw her
right away.
She Ebcame down by the bandstand to watch him while
he Bbplayed.
He was Frankie's Fman, but she was far Bbaway.
#5.
BbHe sang every song to the redhead, she smiled back at him.
Then Ebhe came and sat at her table where the lights were
low and Bbdim.
What Frankie didn't Fknow, wouldn't hurt her Bbnone.
#6.
BbThen the redhead jumped up and slapped him.
BbShe slapped him a time or two.
She Ebsaid, I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on Bbyou.
If you're her Fman, you better treat her Bbright.
OUTRO:
BbWell, the moral of this story is be good but carry a stick.
EbSometimes, it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell
what to Bbpick.
He was Frankie's Fman and he still ain't done her Bbwrong.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
