I was walkin' down the street Mindin' my own affairs And two policemen grabbed me on the way They said: Is your name Henry?, I said: Why sure They said: You're the boy we've been looking for Framed I was framed I never do anything wrong But i always get blamed Framed They put me in the lineup And let that bright light shine Have a ten-pull soul like me Standing in that line I knew I was a victim Of someone's evil plan When a stool pigeon walked in And said "That's the man" Framed I was framed I never did anything wrong, But I've always been blamed Framed The prosecuting attorney Started prosecuting me Man that cat gave me the third degree He said: Where were you the night of June 29? I said: I was home in bed He said: Judge this man is lying Framed I was framed I never do anything wrong But I always get blamed Framed I denied the charges Of robbing the liquor store Denied the charges Of carrying a 44 Denied the charges 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 is drunk What could I do? Framed I was framed I never did anything wrong But I always get blamed He was framed I was framed He was framed I was framed He was afraid I got afraid Framed Always framed
