FRANKY AND ALBERT
Franky was a good girl as everybody knows;
She paid a one hundred dollar bill for a sit of Albert's
clothes,
Because she loved him so,
Because she loved him so.
Franky went down to the bar room,
And she called for a glass of beer,
Hollering out to the bar room tender
Have you saw little Albert here?
He is my man and won't treat me right.
Franky went down Broadway
with a razor in her hand.
"Stand back there, you loving girls'
I ' m hunting for my gamblin' man.
Though he's my man, he won't treat me right.'
Franky walked down to the pool room,
Started in at the pool room door;
There she saw her own little Albert
Standing in the middle of the floor.
'?Here is my man that won't treat me right.
11
"Come to me now Albert,
I am talking with no fun!
If you don't come to the one that loves you,
I'll kill you with this gun.
You're a gambling man and won't treat me right."
Albert walked round the table
And he got down on his knees,
Hollering out to his loving wife,
"Oh, Franky don't shoot me, please,
For I'm your man and want to treat ;you right."
Franlcy \vent down to the river
And she looked from bank to bank.
11
I have done all I can for my gamblin 1 man
And still he won't give me nothing.
He's a gamblin' man and won't treat me right.
It v-1as on one Thursday morning
About half past nine o' clocl<:,
Franlcy grabbed her forty four gun
And she fired two fatal shots,
She killed her man; he ~vouldn ' t treat her right.
"Turn me over, Franky,
Turn me over slow.
Turn rne over on my left side
For the bullets are hurting me so.
You've killed your man, wouldn ' t treat you right.
Franky went down to the river
Just as far as she could see
�FRANKY AND ALBERT - Continued
Everything was the two fold band
Playing "Nearer My God To Thee, "
over the land little Albert ' s dead.
The people all said to Franky,
11 Little girJ why don 1 t you run?
Can't you see the chief of police
With a fort; four smoking gun't
You 1 ve kill«d your manj he I'TOuldn' t treat you right. ''
Franky was .n the court house
Sitting in l big arm chair.
Waiting forthe judges to say,
"Oh, give ror ninety nine years
For killing her man, wouldn't treat her right.''
The jury sad to the judges
For my lifEI cannot see,
She killed1er man wouldn't treat her right
And I thinl she ought to go free,
He was a gmbling man, wouldn't treat her right.
Franky wasln the prison
Sitting uner an electric fanj
She whispe~d in her sister's ear
''Never lovEa gambling man 1
Whatever YQ do, ·'ion ' t treat you right.
.
11
Franky wal~d out on the scaffold
Just as brle as she could be,
Hollering ~t to the judge and the jury,
"I murdere<Albert in the first degree.
He was my r.n and wouldn't treat me right.
Now Franky .s dead and bured
In a tomb 1 Albert ' s side.
Marble sto1s between their graves
On them thEe words are said:
He ' s a gamling man and she ' s his bride. "
