Frankie and Albert Lyrics
Frankie & Albert - Charley Patton
Written by：Traditional
Well frankie went down to albert's house
How late albert's been here
Oh albert's sittin' down in some cheap gal's lap
Buyin' some cheap gal beer
Say he was my man but he done me wrong
Well frankie she called albert
She called him some two or three times
Look down the road 'bout a quarter block
You mighta seen little albert flying
Say he was my man but he done me wrong
Well frankie she was good ol' gal and everybody knows
She would pay one half a hundred for the makin' of her man's clothes
Say he was my man but he done me wrong
Well frankie went down to the courthouse to hear little albert cry
Oh albert was convicted frankie hung her head and cried
Say he was my man but he done me wrong
Say you remember all last sunday twenty-fifth day of may
You buked me and you cursed me oh baby all that day
Say he was my man but he done me wrong
Tell you some folks give you a nickel
And it's some gonna give you a dime
But I'm goin' give you a smile instead
For I know you was a man of mine
Kill her man go kill her man
Well frankie went to the cemetery fell down on her knees
Oh lord will you forgive me and give my poor heart ease
Say he was my man but you done me wrong
Well frankie's mother come running
Come a-whooping screamin' and crying
Oh lord oh lord my only son is dying
She kill her man yes she kill her man
