Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was walkin' down the street, minding my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
He says, "Is your name Henry?", I says, "Why sure"
He says, "You the boy I've been looking for"
[Verse 2]
I was framed
Framed, I was blamed
Framed
Well, I never knew nothing
But I always get framed
Oh, framed
[Verse 3]
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 someones evil plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and says, "That's your man"
[Verse 4]
I was framed
Framed, I was blamed
Oh framed, framed, framed
Well, I never knew nothing
But I always get framed
[Verse 5]
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 in the night of July 1953?"
"Man, I was just home, just a tweedly-dee"
[Verse 6]
I was framed
Oh framed, I was blamed
Oh framed, framed, framed
Well, I never knew nothing
But I always get framed
Oh, framed
Oh, framed
