George Jones

Ol' Frank

She was just seventeen but see was all woman

When ol' Frank slipped the ring on her hand

My God he was wealthy, owned half of the county

But he'd never sixty again.

After ten years of heaven and long nights of love

His old heart couldn't keep up the pace

But friend you can bet that he had no regret

Ol' Frank ran one hell of a race.

She cried all the way to chapel

Like she really cared for ol' Frank

She cried all the way to the grave where he layed

Then she smiled all the way to the bank.

He had bought her big diamonds, long limosine

As she taught him what happiness meant

Lord, he'd spent a fortune on his prize possession

And to him she was worth every cent.

Now ol' Frank is gone and the whole town's still talkin'

They say what she did was disgrace

There are many who think that she killed poor ol' Frank

But he died with a smile on his face.

She cried all the way to chapel

Like she really cared for ol' Frank

She cried all the way to the grave where he layed

Then she smiled all the way to the bank.

She cried all the way to the grave where he layed

Then she smiled all the way to the bank...
