Frankie Dean, sung by Darby & Tarlton
My transcription neeeds to be completed and checked. Please, help. R
Frankie Dean was a very good girl
Most everybody knows
She paid one hundred dollars
For Albert's suit of clothes
He's her man, he's doin' her wrong
Frankie went down to the pawn shop
She bought a 44
I'm goin' to kill that man
Just sure as I can find (him?)
He's my man, he's doin' me wrong
Frankie went down to the barroom
All for a glass of wine
She asked, Mr. bartender
Have you seen that man of mine?
He's my man, he's doin' me wrong
Bartender said, Little Frankie
Said, I ain't goin' tell no story – said - I ain't goin' tell no lie
I saw you man about an hour ago
With a girl named Alice Fry(?)
He's your man, he's doin' you wrong
Frankie walked out of the barroom
She saw with her surprise
She saw her lovin' Albert
With a girl named Alice Fry(?)
He's my man, he's done me wrong
Frankie pulled out a little pistol
Shot her man to the eye
She shot him once, she shot him twice
He cried, Don't take my life
I'm your man, I've done you wrong
Turn me over, Little Frankie
Turn me over slow
Lo, that bullet in my head (?)
How ... so
You've killed your man for I've done you wrong
Pull out a rubber tired buggy
...
She's taken her man to the graveyard
But she ain't gon' bring him back
I've killed my man but he done me wrong
