Lyrics Frankie and Johnny - Mississippi John Hurt
Frankie
was
a
good
girl
everybody
know
She
pay
one
hundred
dollars
for
our
one
suit
of
clothes
He's
a
man
and
he
done
me
wrong.
Frankie
went
down
to
the
corner
saloon,
didn't
go
to
be
gone
long
She
peek
through
one
of
the
keyholes
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
out
of
here"
You's
my
man
and
you
done
me
wrong."
Frankie
shot
old
Albert
and
she
shot
him
three
or
four
times
Says
"Stroll
back,
I'd
smoke
my
gun,
let
him
see
Albert
dying
He's
my
man
and
he
done
me
wrong."
Frankie
and
the
judge
walked
down
on
the
stand,
walked
out
side
to
side
The
judge
says
to
Frankie
"You're
gonna
be
justified
For
killing
a
man
and
he
done
you
wrong."
Dark
was
the
night,
cold
was
on
the
ground
Little
last
word
I
heard
Frankie
say
"I'd
done
laid
old
Albert
down
He's
my
man
and
he
done
me
wrong."
I
ain't
gonna
tell
no
story
and
I
ain't
gonna
tell
no
lie
Well
an
hour
past
about
an
hour
ago,
the
girl
called
out
his
pride
He's
your
man
and
he
done
you
wrong.
