Ritchie Valens - Framed Lyrics

I was walkin' down the street
Mindin' my own affair
When two police grabbed me
Unaware

They says, 'Your name, Henry?'
I says, 'Why sho'
He says, 'You the boy I been lookin' for'

I was framed
Framed, I was blamed
Fra-a-amed
Well, I never knew nothin'
But I always get framed
Oh, framed

(short guitar riff)

(Spoken)

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
(sings) 'That's your man!'

I was framed
Framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never knew nothin'
But I always get framed

(Short guitar riff)

(Spoken)

Well, the prosecuting attorney
Stared-a prosecutin' me
Man, that cat didn't give me the one
But the, third degree
He says, 'Where we're you
On the night, July 19, 1953?'
'Man, I was just home, just-a
Tweedle-e-dee'.

(sings)
I was framed
Oh, framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never knew nothin'
But I always get framed
Oh, framed

Oh, framed
