I was walkin' down the street, mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
He says Â'Is your name Henry?Â' I saysÂ'Why sureÂ'
He says Â'You the boy IÂ'm lookinÂ' forÂ'
I was framed,framed,I was blamed,framed
Well,I never knew nothin', but I always get blamed
Oh, 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 someones evil plan
When a stool pigeon walked in and saysÂ' ThereÂ's your manÂ'
I was framed,framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed
Well, I never knew nothin' but I always get blamed
Framed
(Let it go one time)
Well, the prosecuting attorney started prosecutin' me
Man,that cat didn't give me the one,but the third degree
He saysÂ'Where were you on the night of July 19, 1953?Â'
Â'Man I was just home just a tweedle-a-deeÂ'
I was framed oh framed,I was blamed oh,framed,framed,framed well,
I never knew nothin', but I always get blamed
Oh framed,oh framed...
