He was her man and he was doin' her wrong 
Johnny he grabbed off his Stetson, "Oh lordy don't shoot" 
But Frankie had her finger on the trigger, and the gun went rooty toot toot 
She shot him down, 'cause he was doin' her wrong 
"Roll me over easy, roll me over so slow 
"Roll me over on my left side, 'cause the bullet hurts me so 
"I was your man, but I was doin' you wrong" 
Frankie ran over to Johnny, she knelt down on her knees 
Oh lover forgive me, forgive me if you please 
'cause you were my man but you were doin' me wrong. 
This story got no moral, this story got no end. 
It only goes to show you, that there ain't no good in men. 
He was her man and he was doin' her wrong.
