Frankie was a good girl
Everybody know
Paid a hundred dollars
For Albert's new suite of clothes

He was her man
But he done her wrong

Frankie went down to the corner saloon
She didn't go to be gone long
Beat through one of the doors
She spied Albert in Alice's arms

He was her man
But he was doing her wrong

But Frankie called to Albert
But Albert said I don't hear
You better come to the woman you love
Or I'll throw you out of here
You're my man
And you're doing me wrong

Don't you do that women wrong Al

But Frankie shoot out Albert
Shoot him three of the times
Through the smoke of the gun
Seeing Albert die

He was her man
But he done her wrong

Frankie and the judge
They walked out then
They walked side by side
Frankie said You know, you'll be just fine
For killing a man 'cause he done me wrong

Dark was the night
Cold was on the ground
Last words I heard Frankie say
I'm gonna lay out Albert down

He was my man
And he done me wrong
Oh, so wrong

But I ain't gotta tell no story
I ain't gotta tell no lie
Passed by an hour ago
And I heard that judge's cry

He was her man
Oh, yes, he was her man
Oh, yes, he was her man
And he done her wrong
