Framed (with Reference Vocals)

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 we've 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 someones evil plan
When a stool pigeon 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 prosecuting attorney started prosecutin' me
Man, that cat gave me the third degree
He says"Where were you on the night of June 29"
I said I was home in bed
He said "Jury, this man is lyin'"

Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong, but I always get blamed
Framed

I deny the charge of robbin' the liquor store
Deny the charges of carrying a 44
Deny the charges of vagrancy, too
When the judge came down, poured whyskey on my head
Turned around to the jury and said
"Convict this man . . . . he's drunk"
What could I do

Framed, I was framed
I never do nothin' wrong, but I always get blamed
Framed

I was framed, I was framed, I was framed, I was framed, I was framed
