Frankie - Mississippi John Hurt

Written by：Mississippi John Hurt

Frankie was a good girl everybody know

She pay one hundred dollars for our one suit of clothes

He's a man and he done me wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon

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 done me wrong

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 done me wrong

Frankie shot Albert and she shot him three or four times

Says stroll back I'd smoke my gun

Let him see Albert dying

He's my man and he done me wrong

Frankie and the judge walked down on 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

Dark was the night cold was on the ground

Little last word I heard Frankie say

I'd done laid old Albert down

He's my man and he done me wrong

I ain't gonna tell no story and I ain't gonna tell no lie

Well an hour past about an hour ago

The girl called out his pride

He's your man and he done you wrong
