Frankie Albert Lyrics - Good As I Been To You - Bob Dylan

Frankie was a good girl 

Everybody knows 

For Albert's new suite of clothes 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

Albert said, "I'm leaving you 

Won't be gone for long 

Don't wait for me 

A-worry about me when I'm gone" 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

Frankie went down to the corner saloon 

Get a bucket of beer 

Said to the bartender 

"Has my lovin' man been here?" 

He was her man but he done her wrong

"Well, I ain't gonna tell you no stories 

I ain't gonna tell you no lies 

I saw Albert an hour ago 

With a gal named Alice Bly" 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

Frankie went down to 12th street 

Lookin' up through the window high 

She saw her Albert there 

Lovein' up Alice Bly 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

Frankie pulled out a pistol 

Pulled out a forty-four 

Gun went off a rootie-toot-toot 

And Albert fell on the floor 

He was her man but he done her wrong

Frankie got down upon her knees 

Took Albert into her lap 

Started to hug and kiss him 

But there was no bringin' him back 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

"Gimme a thousand policemen 

Throw me into a cell 

I shot my Albert dead 

And now I'm goin' to hell 

He was her man but he done me wrong" 

Judge said to the jury 

"plain as a thing can be 

A woman shot her lover down 

Murder in the second degree" 

He was her man but he done her wrong 

Frankie went to the scaffold 

Calm as a girl could be 

Turned her eyes up towards the heavens 

Said, "nearer, my god, to thee" 

He was her man but he done her wrong
