Framed Lyrics

Framed lyrics

I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affair

When two policemen grabbed me, unaware

He say, “Is your name Henry?� I says, “Why sure�

He says, “You the boy I've been lookin' for�



I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed

Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framed, oh, framed



They took him in the line up and let those bright lights shine

There was ten poor souls like me in that line

I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan

When a stool pidgeon walked in and says, “That's your man�



I was framed, framed, I was blamed

Oh, framed, framed, framed

Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framed



Well, the prosecutor turned and started a-prosecutin' me

Man, that cat didn't give me the one but the third degree

He says, “Where were you on the night of July 1953?�

Man I was just home, just a tweedle-a-dee



I was framed, oh framed, I was blamed

Oh, framed, framed, framed

Well I never knew nothin' but I always get framed

Oh framed, oh framed
