Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walkin' down the street, mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me unaware
He says, "Your name Henry?," and I says, "Why sure"
He says, "You're the boy I been lookin' for"
[Chorus]
Man, I was framed
Well, I was blamed
Framed, framed, framed
Well, I never do nothin', but I always get blamed
Framed
[Verse 2]
They took me in the lineup and let those bright lights shine
There was ten poor souls like me in that line
I knew I was the victim of someone's evil plan
When the stool pigeon walked in and said, "There's your man"
[Chorus]
I was framed
I-I-I was blamed
Framed, framed, framed
Well, never do nothin' wrong, but I always get blamed
Framed, lemme go one time, hey
[Verse 3]
The prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' me
Man, that cat done give me one but the third degree
Says, "Where were you on the night of July 19, 1953?"
"Oh, man, I was just home, just-a tweedle-ee-dee"
[Chorus]
Well, I was framed
Well, I-I was blamed
Oh framed, framed, framed
Well, never do nothin' wrong, but I always get blamed
Oh, framed
