Frankie's Man, Johnny:Johnny Cash.
#9 US Country and #57 on BB Hot 100
on COLUMBIA Records in 1959.
#1.
Eb    F    Bb
Well, now, Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts.
Bbm       Bb
They were true as a blue, blue sky.
Eb
He was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked 
          Bb
wanderin' eye.
               F                      Bb
But he was her man, nearly all of the time.
#2.
Bb
Well, Johnny he packed up to leave her, but he 
         F       Bb
promised he'd be back.
   Eb
He said he had a little pickin' to do a little 
                 Bb
farther down the track.
                  F                      Bb
He said, I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong.
#3.
Bb
Well, Frankie curled up on the sofa, thinkin' about 
her man.
Eb
Far away the couples were dancing to the music of his 
Bb
band.
                 F                        Bb
He was Frankie's man, he wasn't doin' her wrong.
#4.
Bb
Then in the front door walked a redhead, Johnny saw her 
right away.
    Eb
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while 
   Bb
he played.
                 F                    Bb
He was Frankie's man, but she was far away.
#5.
Bb
He sang every song to the redhead, she smiled back at him.
     Eb
Then he came and sat at her table where the lights were 
        Bb
low and dim.
                    F                       Bb
What Frankie didn't know, wouldn't hurt her none.
#6.
Bb
Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him.
Bb
She slapped him a time or two.
    Eb                                                  Bb
She said, I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on you.
              F                         Bb
If you're her man, you better treat her right.
OUTRO:
Bb
Well, the moral of this story is be good but carry a stick.
Eb
Sometimes, it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell 
        Bb
what to pick.
                 F                               Bb
He was Frankie's man and he still ain't done her wrong.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
