Framed

I was walkin' down the street, mindin' 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'm lookin' for" I was framed, framed, I was blamed, framed Well, I never knew nothing but I always get framed Oh, framed They took him in the lineup 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 When a stool pigeon walked in and says, "That's your man" I was framed, framed, I was blamed Oh, framed, framed, framed Well, I never knew nothing but I always get framed 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 on the night of July 1953?" "Man, I was just home, just a tweedle-a-dee" 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
