music is literature with a melody.

The other day, in class, we listened to a piece of music that told the story of a man who wasn't capable of doing any good. Frankie was an extremely jealous woman who suspected her lover of infidelity. She goes to a bar, jumps to the conclusion that the trust-worthing bartender is an honest man and then decides to shoot her lover, Johnny, multiple times to punish him for hugging his mistress Nellie Bly. Johnny was buried and the end of the song concludes that there is no good in man. I believe that stories are sometimes best told when thrown onto a melody and arranged in a song. Although the last verse of this song stated that it had no moral i think a moral can be found in the last rhyming couplet of each stanza,"He was her man, but he done her wrong."

If you mess with a woman, you may end up dead.
