Текст песни Johnny Cash - Frankies Man Johnny

Frankie's Man, Johnny:Johnny Cash.
#9 US Country and #57 on BB Hot 100
on COLUMBIA Records in 1959.

#1.
Well, now, Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts.
They were true as a blue, blue sky.
He was a long-legged guitar picker with a wicked 
wanderin' eye.
But he was her man, nearly all of the time.

#2.
Well, Johnny he packed up to leave her, but he 
promised he'd be back.
He said he had a little pickin' to do a little 
farther down the track.
He said, I'm your man, I wouldn't do you wrong.

#3.
Well, Frankie curled up on the sofa, thinkin' about 

her man.
Far away the couples were dancing to the music of his 
band.
He was Frankie's man, he wasn't doin' her wrong.

#4.
Then in the front door walked a redhead, Johnny saw her 

right away.
She came down by the bandstand to watch him while 
he played.
He was Frankie's man, but she was far away.

#5.
He sang every song to the redhead, she smiled back at him.
Then he came and sat at her table where the lights were 
low and dim.
What Frankie didn't know, wouldn't hurt her none.

#6.
Then the redhead jumped up and slapped him.
She slapped him a time or two.
She said, I'm Frankie's sister and I was checking up on you.
If you're her man, you better treat her right.

Well, the moral of this story is be good but carry a stick.
Sometimes, it looks like a guitar picker just can't tell 
what to pick.
He was Frankie's man and he still ain't done her wrong.

A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
