From The NLCR Song Book (pp. 160-161):

[G]Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts; they had a quarrel one day,
[C]Johnny vowed he'd leave her; he said he was going a-[G]way,
Never coming [D7]home, going away to [G]roam.

Chorus: Oh, I'm [C]going away, I'm a-going to stay, and never coming [G]home
Gonna [D7]miss me, honey, in the days to come,
When the [G]winter winds begin to blow, the ground is covered up,
And when you [C]think of the way
You're gonna wish me back, your loving [G]man,
You're gonna [D7]miss me honey in the day they say's to [G]come.
