Lyrics

I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affairs
When two policemen grabbed me unaware
They said, "Is your name Henry?" I said, "Oh why sure"
They say, "You the boy we've been lookin' for"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
They put me in the line up and let the bright lights shine
There were ten poor souls like me standing in that line
I knew I was a victim of someone's evil plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and said, "Ah, that's the man"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
The prosecutor turned and started prosecutin' me
Man, that cat gave me the third degree
He said, "Where were you the night of June 29?"
I said, "I was home in bed", he said, "Judge, this man is lyin'"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
I denied the charges of robbin' a liquor store
Denied the charges of carryin' a .44
Denied the charges of vagrancy too
But when the judge came down, poured whiskey on my head
Turned around to the jury and said, "Convict this man, he's drunk"
What could I do?
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
He was framed
(I was framed)
He was framed
(I was framed)
He was framed
(I got framed)
