Frankie Jean (The Trottin' Fool) |
| 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 |
