Lyrics
Frankie was a good woman
Everybody knows
Paid a 41 dollar
For Albert to sew her clothes
He's my man, but he done me wrong
Albert walked down the street
He wasn't gone so long
Poor Frankie discovered
That Albert her man was gone
That's my man, gonna kill him sure
Frankie walked down the streets
She wasn't gone so long
I'm-a Frankie's eight button
That was a 41
He's my man, gonna kill him sure
Frankie went to the bartender
Bought her a glass of beer
Said look-a-here bartender
Is Albert my man in here
He's my man, gonna kill him sure
Bartender said to Frankie
Ain't gonna tell you no lie
Albert left here about a hour ago
With a woman called Alice and fly
That's your man, but he done you wrong
Frankie walked down the streets
She wasn't gone so long
'Fore she shot Albert down
With a Colt 41
That's my man, gonna kill him sure
When she first shot Albert
Fell down in knee
He said "Frankie forgive me
Do that for me if you please
I'm your man, but I done you wrong"
Frankie met Albert mother
She begin to plead
"Will you please forgive me
For killin' your own son please
He's your son, 'cause he done you wrong"
Albert mother looked at Frankie
With a very sweet smile
"I'm gonna have to forgive you
For killin' my only child
That's your man, but he done you wrong"
Roll me over doctor, roll me over slow
Once Frankie done shot me
Till he's killin' me slow
I'm her man, but he done her wrong
