Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dykes Magic Trio's Frankie and Johnny
I agree - it's strange, but just about acceptable, with the implied omitted object lies then appearing in the reiterated second line. However it's a bit better with a correction I omitted from the HD recording. The verse starts:
Not a-gonna tell you any, Frankie, I'm not a-gonna tell you no lie
Perhaps that Lord I'm is really the not a- and I'm not a-I've got on this recording.
