    Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts, Frankie went down to the hotel,
    Oh, how they could love, She didn’t go here for fun,
    They wore to be true to each other, Frankie saw her Johnny on the sofa
    True as the stars above, A-loving up Nelly Bly.
    He was her man, he wouldn't do her wrong. He was her man, but he was doing her wrong.

    Frankie went down to the corner, So Frankie pulled hard on the trigger
    Just for a bucket of beer, And the gun went root-a-toot-toot.
    She said, "Oh, Mister Bartender, A woman simply shot her man
    Has my loving Johnny been here.” and was locked down in that dungeon cell,
    He is my man, he wouldn't do me wrong. She shot her man who was doing her wrong.

    I don't want to cause you no trouble, This is the end of the story,
    Ain't gonna tell you no lies, This is the end of my song,
    I saw your lover an hour ago, This story only goes to show
    With a girl named Nellie Bly, That there ain't no good in men.
    He was your man, but he's doing you wrong. She killed her man, ‘cause he done her wrong.
