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
