Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Well, now, Frankie Aand Johnny were sweethearts;

They were true as a blue, blue sky.

DHe was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked wanderin' eyAe,

But he was her man nearly allE of the time. A

Well, JohnAny, he packed up to leave her,

But he promised he'd be back.

DHe said he had a little pickin' to do a little farther down theA track.

He said, "I'm your man; E I wouldn't do you wrong." A

Well, FArankie curled up on the sofa,

Thinkin' about her man.

DFar away the couples were dancin' toA the music of his band.

He was FrankEie's man; he wasn't doin' her Awrong.

Then in tAhe front door walked a redhead,

Johnny saw her right away.

DShe came down by the bandstand to watch him while he played. A

He was Frankie's man, but she wasE far away. A

He sanAg ev'ry song to the redhead,

She smiled back at him.

The he Dcame and sat by her table, where the lights were low and dAim.

What Frankie didn't know E wouldn't hurt her none. A

Then the redheadA jumped up an slapped him;

She slapped him a time or two.

She saidD, "I'm Frankie's sister and I was checkin' up on you. A

If you'Ere her man you better treat her rAight."

Well, the moral Aof this story

Is be good but carry a stick.

DSometimes it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell what toA pick.

He was Frankie's man, and heE still ain't done her wrong. A
