Frankie and Albert Lyrics by Mississippi John Hurt

Mississippi John Hurt Memorial Anthology

0

Frankie was a good girl, everybody know
She paid one hundred dollars for Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, and he did her wrong
Frankie went down to the corner saloon
She ordered her a glass of beer
She asked the barroom keeper, "Has my lovin' Albert been here?"
"He been here, but he's gone again"
"Ain't gonna tell you no story, Frankie, I ain't gonna tell you no lie"
Says, "Albert a-passed about a hour ago, with a girl you call Alice Fry
He's your man, and he's doin' you wrong"
Frankie went down to the corner saloon
Didn't go to be gone long
She peeked through keyhole in the door, spied
Albert in Alice's arms
You's my man, and you's doin' me wrong
Frankie called Albert, Albert says "I don't hear"
If you don't come to the woman you love
I'm gonna haul you out of here
You's my man, and you're doin' me wrong
Frankie shot Albert, shot him three or four times
Says, "Stand back out the smoke of my gun, let me see this Albert dyin'
He's my man, and he did me wrong"
Frankie and the judge walked out on the stand
Walked out side by side
The judge says to Frankie, "you're gonna be justified
For killin' a man, and he did you wrong"
Frankie was a good girl, everybody knows
She paid one hundred dollars for Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, and he did her wrong
