Frankie & Albert

Frankie was a good girl, everybody knows
She paid a hundred dollars
For Albert's suit o' clothes
He's her man and he done her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon
Upstairs somebody moaned
She peeped through the keyhole in the door
Spied Albert in Thelma's arms
He's my man and he's doin' me wrong

Frankie called out to Albert
He pretended not to hear
If you don't come to the woman you love
Gonna haul you outta here
You's my man and you doin' me wrong

Frankie shot poor Albert
Shot him three or four times
Throwed down that smokin' gun
As Albert lay there, dyin'
He was her man, but he done her wrong

Frankie walked to the courthouse
Judge right by her side
The judge says, "Miss Frankie, your crime is justified
He was your man, but he done you wrong"
