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 peek through one of the keyholes and spied Albert
In Alice's arms

He's my man and he 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 old 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

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
