Duke Ellington
Frankie and Johnny, Pt. 2
Frankie and Johnny were sweetheartsOh, what a couple in loveFrankie was loyal to JohnnyJust as true as the stars aboveHe was her manBut he done her wrongFrankie went down to the drugstoreSome ice cream she wanted to buyThe soda jerk told her that JohnnyWas making love to Nellie BlighHe was her manBut he was doing her wrongNow Frankie's dad was a policemanShe stole his old forty-four gunThen back to the drugstore she beat itJust as fast as she could runAfter her manWho was doing her wrongNow Frankie peaked in on the partyShe got a surprise when she sawSongtexteThat Nellie and Johnny were making loveAnd sipping soda through a strawHe was her manBut he was doing her wrongSo Frankie flew into a tantrumShe whipped out that old forty-fourAnd her rootie-toot-boom, that gal did shootRight through that hardwood swinging doorShe shot her man'Cause he was doing her wrongSo bring on your crepe and your flowersBring on your rubber-tired hack'Cause there's eight men to go to the graveyardBut only seven are coming backShe shot her man'Cause he was doing her wrongNow this is the end of my storyAnd this is the end of my songFrankie is down in the jailhouseAnd she cries the whole night long"He was my manBut he was doing me wrong"
