On the original recording Lonnie seems to mix up personal pronouns and names a few times so I've written it to fit what made most sense to me, some lines aren't entirely accurate but I believe they work well enough. Also some lines I couldn't quite figure out for the life of me so I wrote my best approximations. (Also edited this to fix a few issues)
EAh well Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts Lordy how they could love Ah, they Aswore to be true to each other Just as true as the skies Eabove He was her B7man, he wouldn't do her Ewrong.
EWell Frankie and Johnny went walking Johnny had on a new suit Yeah AFrankie spent one hundred dollars Just to make her man look Ecute He was her B7man, he wouldn't do herE wrong.
&Equot;Well Frankie see, I'm gonna leave you But I wont be very long. Ah, Adon't you wait up for me honey, Don't you worry while I'm Egone. I'm your B7man, I wouldn't do you Ewrong."
ESo Frankie walked down to the Huddy saloon And she called for a bottle of beer. And she Asaid to the old bar-tender man "Has my loving Johnny man Ebeen here? He was my B7man, but he been doing me wErong, so wrong."
&Equot;Well see I don't want to cause you no trouble, Well I don't want to tell you no lies Yeah AI see your Johnny Making love with Nelly EBly. He was your B7man, but he been doing you Ewrong, so wrong."
ESo Frankie walked over to the transit-door And there to her great surprise There Asat her lover Johnny Making love with Nelly EBly He was her B7man, but he being her Ewrong, so wrong.

EAnd last time I see Frankie She was still in a dungeon cell All day Aweeping, all day moaning Cos his soul is going dowEn to hell B7, She shot her man, but he was doing her wrong, so wrong.
