Frankie No. 2 Lyrics

Frankie was a good girl
Everybody knows
She paid a hundred dollars
For Albert, a suit of clothes
He's her man, but he did her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon
She ordered a glass of beer
She asked the barroom keeper
"Is my lovin' Albert been here?"
"He's been here, but he's gone again"

"I ain't gonna tell you know story
Ain't gonna tell you no lie
Albert passed 'bout an hour ago
'a girl they call Alice [Pride?]
He's your man but he done you wrong"

Frankie called Albеrt
Albert says I don't know her(e)
If you don't comе to the woman you love
I'll haul you out of here
Use my... and you did me wrong

Frankie shot Albert
Shot him three or four time
Said, "stand back out the smoke of my gun
Let me see this Albert dyin'
He's my man and he did me wrong"

Frankie was a good girl
Everybody knows
Paid a hundred dollars
For Albert, a suit of clothes
He's her man, and he did her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon
She didn't go to be gone long
She peeped through the keyhole of the door
Spied Albert in Alice's arms
He's her man, and he did her wrong

Frankie and the judge walked out on the stand
To walked out side by side
The judge said, "Frankie
You're gonna be justified
For killing a man, and he did you wrong"

"I ain't gon' tell you no story
I ain't gon' tell you no lie
Says, Albert passed 'bout an hour ago
'The girl you call Alice Fry
He's your man and he did you wrong"
