Framed

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' forI was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed

Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framed, oh, framedThey 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 manI was framed, framed, I was blamed

Oh, framed, framed, framed

Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get framedWell, 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-deeI 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
