I got this from Patton's Yazoo lp cover, but I'm not sure everything is correct. Please, take the chance to listen to this recording and check the text... Thank you. R

Well Frankie went down to Albert's house
"How late Albert's been here?"
Oh Albert's sittin' down some cheap gal's lap,
Buyin some cheap gal's beer
"Hey he was my man, but he done me wrong"

Well Frankie, she called Albert
She called him some two three times
Look down the road by the moonlit block
You mighta seen Little Albert fly
"Hey he was my man, but he done me wrong"

Well Frankie she was a good old gal
An' everybody know
She would pay one half a hundred
For the makin' of her man's clo'
"Hey he was my man, but he done me wrong"

Well Frankie went down to the court house
To hear Little Albert's trial
Oh Albert was convicted, Frankie hung her head an' cried
"Hey he was my man, but he done me wrong"

Say you 'member all on last Sunday
Twentieth day of May
You 'buked me and you cursed me
Oh baby all the day
"Hey he was my man, but he done me wrong"

Tell you some gonna give you a nickel
And it's some gonna give you a dime
But I'm gonna kill your frownin' face
For I know you was a man of mine
Kill a man, go kill a man

Well Frankie went to the cemetery to
Fell down on her knee
"Oh lord will you forgive me
And give my poor heart ease?"
Say: "He was my man, but you done me wrong"

Well Frankie's mother come runnin'
Come a-whoopin', screamin' an' cryin'
"Oh lord, oh lord, my only son is dyin'
He kill a man, judge he kill a man"
