Frankie and Johnny (traditional song, version of "Frankie and Albert")
~ Chanson
Annotation
"The familiar "Frankie and Johnny were lovers" lyrics first appeared (as "Frankie and Albert") in On the Trail of Negro Folksongs by Dorothy Scarborough, published in 1925; a similar version with the "Frankie and Johnny" names appeared in 1927 in Carl Sandburg's The American Songbag."
***previous editor's annotation ***
This is essentially the same song as "Frankie & Albert", but with the name 'Johnny' replacing the name 'Albert'.
The lyrics were added, from "You’re My Baby", in a 1912 publication.
