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.
