Frankie was a good girl
Everybody knows
She paid a hundred dollars
For Albert's one suit' of clothes
                    He's her man
                    And he done her wrong

Frankie went down to the comer saloon
Didn't go to be gone long
She peeped through the keyhole of the door
And spied Albert in Alice's arms
                    He's my man
                    And he done me wrong

Frankie called Albert
Albert says, I don't hear
If you don't come to the woman you love
Gonna haul you outa here
                    You's my man
                    And you done me wrong

Frankie shot old Albert
And she shot him three or four times
Said, Stroll back out the smoke of my gun
Let me see is Albert dying
                    He's my man
                    And he done me wrong

Frankie and the judge walked down the stand
Walked out side by side
The judge said to Frankie,
You gonna bejustified
                    For killing a man
                    And he done you wrong

Dark was the night
Cold was on the ground
The last word I heard Frankie say,
I done laid old Albert down
                    He's my man
                    And he done me wrong

I ain't gonna tell you no story
And I ain't gonna tell no lie
Well Albert passed about an hour ago
With a girl you call Alice Fry
                    He's your man
                    And he done you wrong
