Frankie was a nice young girl, everybody knows Spent a hundred dollars for Albert’s suit of clothes He was her man, but he done her wrong Oh, Frankie went to the barroom, didn’t go there for a beer Said “Mister bartender, has my Albert been here?” He was her man, but he done her wrong “Now I ain’t gonna tell no stories, ain’t gonna tell no lies… Albert was here an hour ago with a girl called Nellie Bly He was your man, but he done you wrong” Oh, Frankie went out for a walk, didn’t go out for fun Underneath her little red coat, she had a .41 He was her man, but he done her wrong She came up to the house, didn’t make no sound Looked through the window glass, saw Albert in Nellie’s arms He was her man, but he done her wrong Oh, first time she shot him he staggard Second time she shot him he fell Third time she shot him, he fell on his heels He was her man, but he done her wrong Well, it’s roll me over doctor, roll me nice and slow Roll me on my left side, my right side hurts me so I was her man, but I done her wrong Frankie and the Judge went for a walk, late one summer’s night Judge said to Frankie, “You’re gonna be justified He was your man, but he done you wrong.”

It's a beautiful classic! When I heard Nora Brown's rendition I couldn't stop listening.
