Frankie Carroll,
he got drunk last night.
I tried my best to help him,
but he wound up in a fight.
And his missy got up
and said, Frankie, it's all right.
Frankie won't do me wrong.
Frankie Carroll,
he beat his kid's last name.
I don't like you kids shouting.
Shut up now, I don't care who's wrong or right.
And his missy got up.
She said, Frankie, I'll keep the kids quiet.
Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
Frankie Carroll,
he fell to bed last night.
His
head hung off of the pillow,
and his eyes were closure tight.
And his missy,
she got up and turned out the light.
Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
Frankie Carroll
is with a woman
that has a name.
