Frankie and Albert |
Frankie was a good girl, everybody know, |
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert’s suit of clothes |
He’s her man, but he did her wrong |
Frankie went down to the corner saloon, she ordered her a glass of beer, |
she asked the barkeeper, «Gas my lovin' Albert been here?» |
«He been here, but he’s gone again» |
«Ain't gonna tell you no story, Frankie, I ain’t gonna tell you no lie» |
Says, «Albert a-passed about a hour ago, with a girl you call Alice Frye |
He’s your man, and he’s doin' you wrong |
Frankie went down to the corner saloon, she didn’t go to be gone long |
She peeked through keyhole in the door, spied Albert in Alice’s arm |
He’s my man, and you’s doin' me wrong |
Frankie called Albert, she shot him three or four times, |
says, «Stand back, I’m smokin' my gun, let me see is Albert dyin' |
He’s my man, and he did me wrong» |
Frankie and the judge walked outta the stand, and walked out side by side |
The judge says, «Frankie, you’re gonna be justified, |
killin' a man, and he did you wrong» |
Frankie was a good girl, everybody know, |
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert’s suit of clothes |
He’s her man, but he did her wrong |
Said, «Turn me over, mother, turn me over slow, |
it may be my last time, you won’t turn me no more |
He’s my man, and he did me wrong» |
Says, Frankie was a good girl, everybody know, |
she paid one hundred dollars for Albert’s suit of clothes |
He’s her man, but he did her wrong |
