Frankie and Johnny
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh Lordy how they could love
Swore they'd be true to each other
Just as true as stars above
He was her man, and he was doing her wrong.
Frankie went around the corner
to get a bucket of beer
Said to the bartender have you seen Johnny here?
He's my man, and he's doing me wrong.
