Framed Songtext
von Ritchie Valens

I was walking down the street, minding my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me, unaware
He says, "Is your name Henry?", I says, "why sure"
He says, "You′re the boy I've been 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 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 someone's evil plan
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
