 They vowed to love one another

Baby beneath those stars above

 It was her man

 But he was doing her wrong

To fetch herself a bucket of beer

 The bartender said Miss Frankie you know

Your lovin' man been here

 It was your man

 But he was doing you wrong

Well girl I can't tell you no lies

 Your husband left about an hour ago

With that Hussy named Nelly Bly

 It was your man

 But he was doing you wrong

She said now lordy what have I done

I done give enough love to my man

He done took my love and run

 It was my man

 But he was doing me wrong

He said lordy don't you shoot

 But out from under that red kimono

The gun went rooty-toot-toot

 She shot that man

 Because he was doing her wrong

She said baby what have I done

I done shot the only man I loved

With a Colt 44 gun

 I shot my man

 Because he was doing me wrong

He done clipped her at the trail

He said now look here woman you done shot your man

Stick you in the county jail

 Talkin' about your man

 But he was doing you wrong
