Frankie And Albert

Frankie and Albert were sweet hearts
 Lord how they could love
 Vowed to love one another
 Baby 'neath the stars above
 It was her man and he was doin' her wrong
 Frankie went down to the bar room
 To get herself a bucket of beer
 Say hey to da' lone bartender
 Say hey has my lovely man been here?
 It was my man, an' he was doing me wrong
 ♪
 Bartender said "Ms Frankie
 Honey I can't tell you no lie
 He left here about an hour ago
 With that hussie named Nelly Bly
 It was your man, he was doing you wrong"
 ♪
 Frankie, she cried, she cried, she cried
 Lord what have I done?

 He took my love and run
 It was my man, and he was doing me wrong
 Albert saw Frankie comin', He say
 "Oh Lord baby, don't you shoot
 Well you know, out from under that red kimono"
 The gun went rootie toot toot
 She shot that man 'cause he was doin' her wrong
 Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo
