The song Frankie and Johnny is performed by Sam Cooke in the album named Sam Cooke - Greatest Hits in the year 1998 .
Frankie and Johnnie were sweethearts
At least that's the way the old story goes
Frankie bought everything for Johnnie
From his sportscar to designer neat clothes
Aw he was her man alright
Oh but he was doing her wrong
Just to show you what can happen
A friend came running to Frankie
Said you know I wouldn't tell you no lie
I saw your man riding in his jaguar
With a chick named Nellie Bly
Aw and if he was your man honey
Let me tell you he was doing you wrong
Let me tell the story
Frankie ran around the corner
And peeped in a swinging place
and there she saw Johnnie with a woman
He had his arm around her waist
Aw he was her man alright
But Frankie could see that he was doing her wrong.
And oh let me tell you
Frankie reached down in her pocket book
Came up with a long 44
she shot once- twice-- three times
and Johnny fell on the hardwood floor
Oh he was her man alright
But she shot him because he was doing her wrong.
But the last thing he told her was Frankie
you know I love you why?
Honey why did you do that Frankie?
I was telling her about you Frankie
You know that I love you Frankie
You know that I lov you yeah yeah yeah.
Now Frankie you know good and well that I love you Frankie
I'll always love you baby Frankie
You know I can't do without you Frankie
You know I love you I'm your man
although I was doing you wrong wrong wrong
