Lyrics

She was just seventeen but she 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 see sixty again After ten years of Heaven and long nights of love His ole heart couldn't keep up the pace But friends you can bet that he had no regrets Ol' Frank ran one Hell of a race She cried all the way to the chapel Like she really cared for Ol' Frank She cried all the way to the grave where he lay Then she smiled all the way to the bank He had bought her big diamonds and long Limousines As she taught him what happiness meant Lord, he spent a fortune on his prized possession And to him she was worth every cent Now Ol' Frank is gone and the whole town's still talkin' They think what she did is a 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 the chapel Like she really cared for Ol' Frank She cried all the way to the grave where he lay Then she smiled all the way to the bank She cried all the way to the grave where he lay Then she smiled all the way to the bank
