He got drunk last night
   I tried my best to help him
   But he wound up in a fight
  
   And his missy got him
   She said
   "Frankie, it's alright"
   "Frankie won't do you wrong"
  
   Frankie Carroll
   He beat his kids last night
   "I don't like you kids shouting"
   "Shut up now, don't care who's wrong or right"
  
   And his missy got him
   She said
   "Frankie, I'll keep the kids quiet"
   Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
  
   Frankie Carroll
   He fell to bed last night
   And his head hung off the pillow
   And his eyes were closed shut tight
  
   And his missy
   She got up and turned out the light
   Frankie, Frankie, what's wrong?
   Frankie Carroll was with a woman last night
