Frankie

Frankie - Mississippi John Hurt

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

Ain't gonna tell you no story Frankie

I ain't gonna

Tell you no lie

Says Albert a-passed about a hour ago

With a girl you

Call Alice Frye

He's your man and he's doin' you wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon

She didn't go to

Be gone long

She peeked through keyhole in the door

Spied Albert in

Alice's arm

He's her man and he did her wrong

Frankie shot Albert

She shot him three or four times

Says Stand back I'm smokin' my gun

Let me see is

Albert dyin'

He's my man and he did me wrong

Frankie and the judge walked outta the stand

And walked

Out side by side

The judge says Frankie you're gonna be justified

Killin' a man and he did you wrong
