Well, Frankie

Frankie told Johnny

Lord, I want a diamond ring

Oh, Johnny told Frankie

I'll get you most anything

Oh Johnny went down to the German

On Rampart and Dumaine

He walked in the store

The German had a diamond in his hand

Te-na, Te-na-na

Te-na, Na-ne-na

Te-na, Na-na-na

Te-na, Na-na-n'-na

Oh, Johnny, Johnny shot the German

Lord, an he shot him through the head

He ran out the do'

And he fell on the sidewalk, dead

When Frankie

Frankie, got the news

The jury want him dead

She come runnin', hollin'

Lord, talkin' all out her head

Well, Johnny started to runnin'

Lord, and he didn't no where to do

They found Johnny hollin'

In the grocery store next door

Then the policeman

Handcuffed and beat him

And they took Johnny out of sight

He said, 'That's alright, Frankie

Ev'rything gonna be alright'

(Aaaaah!)

(Instrumental)

'Alright!'

Te-na, Te-na-ne-na

Te-na-na, Na-ne-na

Te-na, Na-na-na

Te-na, Na-na, na-ne-na.
