Lyrics

[00:20.34] Frankie was a good girl everybody know
[00:24.34] She pay one hundred dollars for our one suit of clothes
[00:29.50] He's a man and he done me wrong
[00:32.67]
[00:47.31] Frankie went down to the corner saloon didn't go to be
[00:50.67] Gone long
[00:51.62] She peek through one of the keyholes and spied Albert
[00:54.05] In Alice's arms
[00:55.05]
[00:55.56] He's my man and he done me wrong
[00:58.67]
[01:13.04] Frankie called Albert Albert says I don't hear
[01:16.99] If you don't come to the woman you love gonna haul you
[01:20.07] Out of here
[01:21.27] You's my man and you done me wrong
[01:24.35]
[01:39.21] Frankie shot old Albert and she shot him three or four times
[01:42.38]
[01:42.95] Says Stroll back I'd smoke my gun let him see Albert dying
[01:46.36]
[01:47.09] He's my man and he done me wrong
[01:50.27]
[02:04.35] Frankie and the judge walked down on the stand walked out
[02:07.22] Side to side
[02:08.35] The judge says to Frankie You're gonna be justified
[02:11.89]
[02:12.50] Killing a man and he done you wrong
[02:15.47]
[02:29.49] Dark was the night cold was on the ground
[02:33.55] Little last word I heard Frankie say I'd done
[02:36.29] Laid old Albert down
[02:37.68] He's my man and he done me wrong
[02:40.61]
[02:54.96] I ain't gonna tell no story and I ain't gonna tell no lie
[02:59.17] Well an hour past about an hour ago the girl
[03:01.62] Called out his pride
[03:03.10] He's your man and he done you wrong
