Frankie |
One time my papa had a horse, his name was Frankie Jean |
Man, that’s the running’est horse the world I ever seen |
And it just do me good to ride old Frankie Jean |
And it do you good to sit and listen at him sometimes |
When he’s coming down that plank road, almost making his feet talk |
Man, that’s the singlest-footing horse the world I ever seen |
Something kind of like this |
Go on, Frankie Jean, go on |
I had him out with me once and he got loose |
I couldn’t catch him to save my life |
I called Frankie Jean and I called him |
He didn’t seem to pay me no mind |
I went and told my papa, «How would you do if you want to catch a horse?» |
He said, «How did you do?» |
I said, «I called mine; |
called Frankie Jean and called him |
He didn’t seem to pay me no attention» |
Said, «That's a horse, you can’t, you didn’t call him right |
You must whistle when you want your horse to come to you |
Something like this |
Then he come single-footing to me |
So I took him out again; |
he got loose from me |
I called him and called him |
He didn’t seem to pay me no attention |
I thought about what papa said |
You’s a horse, I must whistle for you, something like this |
Then he comes single-footing to me |
I had him out on a race once |
I had $ 5000 betting on Frankie Jean |
Folks, I wasn’t scared at all, 'cause I know he wasn’t going to let me lose |
'Fore he let me lose, he’d run off all of his shoes |
Something like this |
Go on, Frankie Jean |
