[Verse 1]
Frankie was a good girl
Everybody know
She paid one hundred dollars
For Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, and he did her wrong

[Verse 2]
Frankie went down to the corner saloon
Didn't go to be gone long
She peeped through the keyhole of the door
Spied Albert in Alice's arms
He's my man, and he done me wrong

[Verse 3]
Frankie called Albert
Albert says, "I don't hear"
If you don't come to the woman you love
'Gonna haul you out of here
You's my man and you don me wrong

[Verse 4]
Frankie shot old Albert
And she shot him three of four times
Said, "stroll back out the smoke of my gun
Let me see this Albert dying
He's my man and he done me wrong"
[Verse 5]
Frankie and the judge walked down the stand
Walked out side to side
The judge says to Frankie
"You're gonna be justified
For killing a man, and he done you wrong"

[Verse 6]
Dark was the night
Cold was on the ground
The last word I heard Frankie say
"I done laid old Albert down
He's my man, and he done me wrong"

[Verse 7]
"I ain't gon' tell no stories
And I ain't gon' tell no lies
Well, Albert passed, 'bout an hour ago
With a girl they call Alice Fry
He's your man, and he done you wrong"
