Los Lobos - Framed lyrics
[Los Lobos - Framed lyrics]
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, 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
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, 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
