Frankis And Albert lyrics

Frankie an` Albert was sweethearts
Lordy how they could love.
Vowed to love one another
Baby `neath the stars above
It was her man..... an` he was doin` her wrong.

Frankie went down to da` bar room,
Get herself a bucket a beer.
Say hey to da` lone bartender
Say hey has my lovely man been here?
It was my man.......an` he was doin` me wrong.

Bartender say `Miss Frankie, huh,
honey I can`t tell ya` no lie.
He lef` here `bout an` hour ago,
With that hussy named Nelly Blye`.
It was yo` man......an he was doin` you wrong.

Frankie she cried, she cried, she cried,
Lordy what have I done?
I done give my love to dis man
He done took my love an` run.
It was my man........an he was doin` 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!
Frankie say baby what have I done?
You know I shot the only man I loved,
A cold forty - one,
It was my man........an he was doin` me wrong.

Play it for a while....

High Sheriff come clippety, clippety, clippety, clippety,
clippety, clippety, clippety the trail
I say look here Frankie I`m gon` tell ya`
You done shot yo` man,
I`m gon` hafta` put cha in da` county jail.
Talkin` `bout that man.....an` he was doin` her wrong.

Frankie she laid in da` jail house,
Now ya` know there ain`t no one to go her bail.
But `cha know big Jim say honey,
`I`m workin` on you, try to get you outta that jail`
Tell about yo` man....`cause he was doin` you wrong.

An` our story go on......

Frankie an` Albert was sweethearts
Lordy how they could love.
Vowed to love one another
Underneath the stars above
Talkin` `bout that man..... an` he was doin` her wrong
