Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts They had a quarrel one day Johnny he vowed he would leave her Said he was goin' away He's never comin' home He's goin' away to roam Frankie she begged and pleaded Cried "Oh Johnny, please stay" She says, "My honey I have done you wrong But please don't go away" Then Johnny sighed And to his Frankie cried: "Oh I'm a goin' away and I'm a goin' to stay I'm never coming home You're goin' to miss me hon' In the days to come When the winter winds begin to blow The ground is covered up with snow You'll think of me and you will wish to be Back with your lovin' man You're goin' to miss me hon' In the days, days, days to come" Frankie says, "Listen now Johnny To prove my love is true Every dollar I can save, dear I'm goin' to give to you So I think now, dear That ought to keep you here" Johnny says, "Listen now Frankie Don't want to tell you no lie I've lost my heart to another queen Her name is Nellie Bly" Then Frankie groaned As her Johnny moaned: "Oh, I'm a goin' away and I'm a goin' to stay I'm never coming home You're goin' to miss me hon' In the days to come When the winter winds begin to blow The ground is covered up with snow You'll think of me and you will wish to be Back with your lovin' man You're goin' to miss me hon' In the days, days, days to come Frankie then said to her Johnny "Say man, your hour has come" From underneath her silk kimono She drew a forty-four gun Oh, it was bear, 'twas quite a large affair Johnny he dashed down the stairway Cryin' "Oh Frankie, don't shoot" Frankie took aim with her forty-four Five times with a rooty-toot-toot As Johnny fell, then miss Frankie yelled: "Oh, you're a goin' away and you're a goin' to stay You're never coming home I'm goin' to miss you hon', in the days to come When the winter winds begin to blow The ground is covered up with snow I'll think of thee and I will wish to be Back with my lovin' man I'm goin' to miss you hon' In the days, days, days to come "Send for your rubber-tired hearses Go get your rubber-tired hacks Take lovin' Johnny to the graveyard I shot him in the back With my great big gun Just as he went to run Send for a thousand policemen Detectives right away Lock me way down in the dungeon cell And throw the keys away My Johnny's dead, just because he said: "Oh, I'm a goin' away and I'm a goin' to stay I'm never coming home You're goin' to miss me hon' in the days to come When the winter winds begin to blow The ground is covered up with snow You'll think of me and you will wish to be Back with your lovin' man You're goin' to miss me hon' In the days, days, days to come
