Notes: This is probably the very first documented version (as I have seen) of the murder ballad about Frankie and Johhny. I used an old sheet music (available at https://levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/collection/152/019 ). The original sheet shows melody, lyrics and piano arrangement, but I transposed it to some kind of Old-time settings with finger-style banjo, guitar and fiddle. (the mp3 file is tab generated and sounds terrible!)
