| | | Artist: | Bob Dylan |
| | Album: | Good as I Been to You | | Track: | Frankie and Albert | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 148 | | | | Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan (arr)
1. Frankie was a good girl.
Everybody knows.
For Albert's
new suite of clothes.
He was her man but he done her wrong.
2. Albert said, "I'm
leaving you.
Won't be gone for long.
Don't wait for me.
A-worry about me when I'm
gone."
He was her man but he done her wrong.
3. Frankie went down to the corner
saloon.
Get a bucket of beer.
Said to the bartender.
"Has my lovin' man been
here?"
He was her man but he done her wrong.
Instrumental
4. "Well, I
ain't gonna tell you no stories.
I ain't gonna tell you no lies.
I saw Albert an hour
ago.
With a gal named Alice Bly."
He was her man but he done her wrong.
5.
Frankie went down to 12th Street.
Lookin' up through the window high.
She saw her Albert
there.
Lovein' up Alice Bly.
He was her man but he done her
wrong.
Instrumental
6. Frankie pulled out a pistol.
Pulled out a
forty-four.
Gun went off a rootie-toot-toot
And Albert fell on the floor.
He was her
man but he done her wrong.
7. Frankie got down upon her knees.
Took Albert into her
lap.
Started to hug and kiss him.
But there was no bringin' him back.
He was her man
but he done her wrong.
Instrumental
8. "Gimme a thousand policemen.
Throw
me into a cell.
I shot my Albert dead.
And now I'm goin' to hell.
He was her man but
he done me wrong."
9. Judge said to the jury.
"Plain as a thing can be.
A woman
shot her lover down.
Murder in the second degree."
He was her man but he done her
wrong.
Instrumental
10. Frankie went to the scaffold.
Calm as a girl
could be.
Turned her eyes up towards the heavens.
Said, "Nearer, my God, to Thee."
He
was her man but he done her wrong | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
