Frankie Blues

Frankie was a good girlie to everyone she knew
She had some trouble with a sweetie, which made her feel so blue
She packed his grip for a trip and
said, "I'm leavin' now, honey dear!"

He called to see her next day
She left him and this is what he had to say

I'm worried now, ain't gonna be worried long, no I ain't
I miss sweet Frankie since she's been gone, yes I do!
Shee went away, I know she done me wrong!

Now I'm weepin' like a willow tree
Since sweet Frankie's went away from me
Where she's gone I do not know
She's been seen near Baltimore

I will pay any fair reward
If you will find Frankie, Lord
I been to 'Frisco, I been to Hackensack
Tryin' to find Frankie and bring her back
Somebody find that sweet Frankie of mine

Someone find, please Frankie Lord, if you please
You will give my poor heart some ease
She bent me in, she threw me down
Now she got away with Henry Brown
Someone find that good Frankie of mine

I tell you
Now I'm weepin' like a willow tree
Since sweet Frankie's went away from me
Where she's gone I do not know
She's been seen near Baltimore

I will pay most fair reward
If you will find Frankie, Lord
I been to Frisco I been to Halifax
Trying to find Frankie and bring her back
Somebody find that sweet Frankie of mine
