Chords

G
Well now Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts

They were true as a blue, blue sky

C
He was a long-legged guitar-picker 

                         D
With a wicked, wondering eye

                                     G
But he was her man nearly all of the time

Well Johnny he packed up a leaven' But he promised he'd be back

   C
He said he had a little picking' to do 

                          G
A little further down the track

                  D                       G
He said,"I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong"

Well Frankie curled up on the sofa Thinkin' about her man

C                                                 G
Far away couples were dancin' to the music of his band

                  D                       G
He was Frankie's man he wasn't doin' her wrong

Then in the front door walked a redhead Johnny saw her right away

     C                                                G
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while he played

                  D                  G
He was Frankie's man but she was far away

He sang another song to the redhead She smiled back at him

        C                       
Then he came and sat at her table 

                              G
Where the lights were low and dim

                    D                      G
What Frankie didn't know wouldn't hurt her none

Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him She slapped him a time or two

     C                                                  G
She said,"I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on you"

               D                          G
"If you're her man you'd better treat her right"

Well the moral of this story Is be good but carry a stick

C
Sometimes it looks like a guitar-picker 

                        G
Just can't tell what to pick

                  D                               G
He was Frankie's man and he still ain't done her wrong
