Please, help with this fine recording of Frankie and Johnny. Main problems: where I've put question marks. It is from the CD My Rough and Rowdy Ways (Yazoo), the song is titled Frankie, sung by Dykes Magic City Trio. Thanks. R
Frankie was a good woman Everybody knows She paid a hundred dollar bill For Li'l Albert's suit of clothes - For he's my man, my gambling man
Frankie went down to the barroom She ordered up a glass of beer Said she to the bartender: Has my Li'l Albert here? For he's my man, my gambling man
Lord I'm gonna tell you any (???), Frankie Lord I'm gonna tell you no lie He left here just about a moment ago With a girl called Alice Fry For he's you man, your gambling man
Frankie went out a-walking She did not go for fun For under her apron she had to see (?) A (?) 44 Gatling gun: Gonna murder that man that done me wrong
Please don't murder me, Frankie Please don't murder me now For I love you, indeed I do And I know my love is true But I'm the man that done you wrong
Turn me over, Frankie Turn me over slow But please don't touch my wounded side My heart will overflow But I'm the man that done you wrong
