# So he tried to change his luck

# With a gal who wasn't right

# He's Frankie's man

# But he's doin' her wrong

# Frankie,

I don't wanna make you no trouble

# Honey, I don't wanna tell you no lie

# But...

# I saw your sweet man, Johnny

# He was messin' round

with that Nellie Bly

# Well, if he's your man

# Then he's doin' you wrong

# Frankie went back to find Johnny

# But she wasn't lookin' for fun

# In her sweet, dainty little hand

# She was totin' a 44 gun

# To shoot her man

# Cos he was doin' her wrong

Blackie, who do you know

who can marry us right away?

- You and who?

- Nellie and me.

Johnny Nothing

was really nothing in her life.

How about that! Hey, Boss,

things are workin' out just like you...

What's wrong?

I was only doin'

what I thought you wanted me to do.

What are you trying to say?

You know the blank cartridge

Frankie shoots Johnny with?

What about it?

It ain't blank. I put in a real bullet.

Frankie is gonna shoot Johnny dead.

You stupid...

- Sorry!

- What's the matter with him?

# He was her man

# She caught him doin' her wrong

Johnny?

# Frankie, I beg you, don't shoot me

# They'll put you away in a cell

# They'll put you

where the cold wind blows

# From the hottest corner of hell

# Johnny, you're my man

# But you're doin' me wrong

Don't shoot!

- Close the curtain!

- What's the matter, Mr Braden?

That was a real bullet.

Johnny, don't die!

Please don't die! I love you!

You can gamble all you want!

- You really mean that?

- I want you any way you are.

Baby, you got me.

But that gun was really loaded.

I did feel something.

Looks like a bullet dent.

But who put the bullet in the gun?

Let's just say a misguided friend.

I'm asking again:

Do you wanna get married?

What have I got to lose?

I think I'll give him the air.

# Everybody come aboard

the showboat tonight

# We're gonna dance till the morning light

# We'll have fun the whole night long

There'll be jokes and song

# Forget your troubles, forget your strife

# You'll have the best time of your life

# Hey, everyone, let's go on with the show

# Way down by the levee

# The boat's at the bank

# Bring money to spend, you're welcome,

my friend, just walk up the plank

# Everybody, come aboard

the showboat tonight

# Look around at the happy sight

# We'll guarantee that you'll have a ball

Come one and all

# What a great night you've got in store

# You'll wanna keep coming back for more

# Hey, everyone, let's go on with the show

# What a great night you've got in store

# I'll bet you'll wanna

keep coming back for more

# Hey, everyone, let's go on with the show
