Frankie and Johnnie
Posted By Scott on August 5, 2010
Frankie and Johnnie is a classic old folk song that tells the story of a man who done his woman wrong and gets shot by her for it. There are several verses and I managed to extend the song out to some 12 minutes in length. The piano melody is catchy and it’s hard not to tap a foot and sway the hips when listening to this old song. You can hear my version of Frankie and Johnnie on my Musician’s Facebook Page. If you want your own mp3 copy leave a comment here. For a quick overview of the history of the song or just about any old popular song for that matter check it out on Wikipedia. I’ve found Wikipedia is a great source when it comes to learning about the history of songs and the people who sung them.
