When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
He say, "Is your name Henry?" I says, "Why sure"
He says, "You the boy we've been lookin' for"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, 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 the man"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
Well, the prosecutor turned and started a-prosecutin' me
Man, that cat didn't give me the third degree
He says, "Where were you on the night of July 1953?"
I said I was home in bed, he says "jury, this man is lyring"
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed
I denied charge of robbing the liquor store
Denied the charge of carrying a forty-four
Denied the charge 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 a drunk," what could I do?
Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong
But I always get blamed, framed, feel my pain
I was framed (he was blamed)
I was framed (he was blamed)
I got framed (he was blamed)
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 we've been lookin' for" Framed, I was framed I never do nothin' wrong But I always get blamed, 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 the man" Framed, I was framed I never do nothin' wrong But I always get blamed, framed Well, the prosecutor turned and started a-prosecutin' me Man, that cat didn't give me the third degree He says, "Where were you on the night of July 1953?" I said I was home in bed, he says "jury, this man is lyring" Framed, I was framed I never do nothin' wrong But I always get blamed, framed I denied charge of robbing the liquor store Denied the charge of carrying a forty-four Denied the charge 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 a drunk," what could I do? Framed, I was framed I never do nothin' wrong But I always get blamed, framed, feel my pain I was framed (he was blamed) I was framed (he was blamed) I got framed (he was blamed) Explain Request ×
