Frankie and Johnny
Oh, my honey, I've done you wrong, but please don't go away
And Johnny cried, while Frankie sighed
I'm going away, I'm going to say never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the day sky
When the wind, the wind, the wind, the blow
The ground is covered up with snow
You think I'm away, gonna wish me back
Your loving hand
Gonna miss me, honey, in the day
They say through time
. . .
Frankie said to her, Johnny
Manual hours done come
Underneath her silk kimono
She carried a .44 gun
His love affairs
Are hard to bear
John ran down the stairway
Hollered, Frankie, don't shoot
Frankie aimed the .44 five times
And Rudy toot-toot and Johnny fell
While Frankie yelled
I'm going away, I'm going to say never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the day sky
When the wind, the wind, the wind, the blow
The ground is covered up with snow
You think I'm away, gonna wish me back
Your loving hand
Gonna miss me, honey, in the day
They say through time
. . .
Bring on your rubber-tied hearses
Sing for your rubber-tied knacks
They're taking Johnny to the graveyard
I've shot him in the back with a great big gun
Has the future begun?
Sent for some policeman
To carry me away
Take me down in the dungeon cell
And throw the ease away my Johnny's dead
Because he said
I'm going away, I'm going to say never coming home
Gonna miss me, honey, in the days to come
When the wind, the wind, the wind, the blow
The ground is covered up with snow
You think I'm away, gonna wish me back
Your loving hand
Gonna miss me, honey, in the day
They say through time
. . .
