Eric Bibb - Frankie & Albert lyrics
[Eric Bibb - Frankie & Albert lyrics]
Frankie was a good girl everybody knows
Paid one hundred dollars
For Albert's suit of clothes
He was her man and he done her wrong
Frankie went down to the corner saloon
Upstairs somebody moaned
She peeked through the keyhole in the door
Spied Albert in
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 out of here"
He's my man and he's doin' me wrong
Frankie shot poor Albert shot him four times
Threw down that smokin' gun
As Albert lay there dyin'
He was her man and he'd done her wrong
Frankie walked to the courthouse
The judge went by her side
The judge says, "Miss Frankie
Your crime is justified
He was you man, but he's done you wrong"
Paid one hundred dollars
For Albert's suit of clothes
He was her man and he done her wrong
Frankie went down to the corner saloon
Upstairs somebody moaned
She peeked through the keyhole in the door
Spied Albert in
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 out of here"
He's my man and he's doin' me wrong
Frankie shot poor Albert shot him four times
Threw down that smokin' gun
As Albert lay there dyin'
He was her man and he'd done her wrong
Frankie walked to the courthouse
The judge went by her side
The judge says, "Miss Frankie
Your crime is justified
He was you man, but he's done you wrong"
