I'm talking about those songs that tell the story of a couple, usually by naming them. This does not include a song in which the singer/narrator is a member of the couple, singing about the person they love.
This is for the Frankie and Johnny video on the 1st page.
It tells the story of a woman, Frankie, who finds that her man Johnny was making love to another woman and shoots him dead. Frankie is then arrested; in some versions of the song she is also executed.
Bonnie and Clyde - does this really need and explanation

Yes, I looked up the lyrics to Frankie & Johnny, not being familiar with it. I actually learned that it was originally based on a true story in the late 1800s. A 22 year old woman named Frankie killed her 17 year old (yes, 17!!!) boyfriend for cheating on her.
I didn't realize there were so few "story of a couple" songs. I don't know anything about country music, but I kind of figured there would be tons in that genre!
I wish people would stop just posting videos. It's kind of lazy really. We don't want to listen to the songs, just have you tell us a summary of the couple's story. It won't kill you to type a few lines people.

Bob Dylan got into trouble with that song and the album Frankie and Johnny was on and it followed him all his life and even makes a reference to 'Frankie and Johnny" in a cemetary in one of his more recent songs.
