Framed - Los Lobos
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,
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,
I was blamed
Oh framed, framed, framed
Well, I never knew nothing
but I always get framed
Oh framed,
