Frankie e Johnny foram namorados Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts Mas ele fez mal dela But he was doin' her wrong Ele a levou pro mal caminho He was doin' her wrong in a bad way mas ela foi boa e forte But she was good and strong Ele foi seu homem, mas foi bruto. He was her man, but he was a jerk
Foram num hotel de Nellie Blye Was in a hotel with Nellie Blye E a bala fez rooty-toot-toot And the gun went rooty-toot-toot Atirou no coração de um falsário Shot the bastard in the heart E arruinou o seu bom terno And ruined his nice suit Ele foi seu homem, mas não foi nada bom. He was her man, but he was no damn good
Então eles o levaram para um cemitério So they took him up to the graveyard E o jogaram em qualquer lugar And stuck him in the dirt O que foi muito triste Which was oh-so very sad, E o desperdício de uma boa camisa And a waste of a nice clean shirt Ele foi seu homem, mas fez mal dela. He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong
Ele não tinha idéia do que aconteceu He had no idea what happened Ele foi dar um alô a deus He was waving hello to God Ele morreu comendo um esquilo He died from eating squirrel, Ele deitou-se no sol. And they laid him in the sun He was her man, but he was doin' her wrong
Então aqueles foram Frankie e Johnny So that was Frankie and Johnny E esse é o fim da minha música And that's the end of my song Ela pôs seu cachimbo na sua calça She put a hose in his tailpipe Porque ele tinha deixado ela errada 'Cause he had done her wrong Ele foi seu homem, e isso é tudo que ela escreveu. He was her man, and that's all she wrote
