Frankie was a good girl |
[00:09.67] |
Everybody knows |
[00:11.88] |
Paid one hundred dollars |
[00:13.61] |
For Albert's new suit of clothes |
[00:15.48] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[00:20.74] |
Albert said "I'm leaving you" |
[00:23.29] |
Won't be gone for long |
[00:25.50] |
Don't wait up for me |
[00:27.23] |
A-worry about me when I'm gone |
[00:28.77] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[00:34.24] |
Frankie went down to the corner saloon |
[00:36.57] |
Get a bucket of beer |
[00:38.50] |
Said to the bartender |
[00:40.13] |
"Has my lovin' man been her ?" |
[00:42.46] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[00:47.48] |
(music) |
[01:00.59] |
"Well, I ain't gonna tell you no stories“ |
[01:02.96] |

[01:07.22] |

[01:14.39] |
Frankie went down to 12th street |
[01:16.62] |
Lookin' up through the window high |
[01:19.00] |
She saw her Albert there |
[01:21.20] |
Lovin' up Alice Bly |
[01:23.70] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[01:26.53] |
(music) |
[01:42.41] |
Frankie pulled out a pistol |
[01:44.60] |
Pulled out a forty-four |
[01:46.83] |
Gun went off a-rootie-toot-toot |
[01:48.68] |
And Albert fell on the floor |
[01:50.92] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[01:55.99] |
Frankie got down upon her knees |
[01:57.99] |
Took Albert into her lap |
[02:00.61] |
Started to hug and kiss him |
[02:02.39] |
But there was no bringin' him back |
[02:04.43] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[02:10.17] |
(music) |
[02:23.70] |
"Gimme a thousand policemen“ |
[02:25.00] |

[02:27.61] |
I shot my Albert dead |
[02:29.34] |
And now I'm goin' to hell" |
[02:31.13] |
He was my man but he done me wrong. |
[02:36.29] |
Judge said to the jury |
[02:38.80] |
"Plain as a thing can be“ |
[02:40.91] |
A woman shot her lover down |
[02:42.70] |
Murder in the second degree" |
[02:44.64] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[02:48.50] |
(music) |
[03:03.50] |
Frankie went to the scaffold |
[03:05.34] |
Calm as a girl could be |
[03:07.87] |
Turned her eyes up toward the heavens |
[03:09.58] |
Said "Nearer, my God, to Thee" |
[03:11.67] |
He was her man but he done her wrong. |
[03:16.68] |
