Framed
I was walkin' down the street, minding my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me unaware
They said, is your name Henry, I says why sure?
He says you're the boy I been lookin' for
I was framed, framed, I was blamed
Framed, well I never do nothing
But I always get blamed, oh framed
They took me to the line where 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 an' says
That's your man!
I was framed, framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never do nothing
But I always get blamed
Well, the prosecuting attorney started a-prosecuting me
Man, that cat didn't give me the one, but the third degree
He says, where were you in the night of July 1953
Man, I was just home, just a tweedle-ee-dee
I was framed, oh framed, I was blamed
Oh, framed, framed, framed
Well, I never do nothing
But I always get framed, oh framed
Oh framed
Enmarcado
Caminaba por la calle, ocupándome de mis asuntos
Cuando dos policías me agarraron desprevenido
Me dijeron, ¿tu nombre es Henry?, yo dije, claro que sí
Él dice, eres el chico que he estado buscando
Fui enmarcado, enmarcado, fui culpado
Enmarcado, nunca hago nada
Pero siempre me culpan, oh enmarcado
Me llevaron a la fila donde brillan esas luces brillantes
Había diez almas pobres como yo en esa fila
Sabía que era víctima de un plan malvado de alguien
Cuando un soplón entró y dijo
¡Ese es tu hombre!
Fui enmarcado, enmarcado, fui culpado
Oh, enmarcado, enmarcado, enmarcado
Nunca hago nada
Pero siempre me culpan
Bueno, el fiscal comenzó a procesarme
Hombre, ese gato no me dio solo uno, sino el tercer grado
Él dice, ¿dónde estabas en la noche de julio de 1953?
Hombre, estaba en casa, solo tarareando
Fui enmarcado, oh enmarcado, fui culpado
Oh, enmarcado, enmarcado, enmarcado
Nunca hago nada
Pero siempre me enmarcan, oh enmarcado
Oh enmarcado
