Framed - Canned Heat

I was walkin' down the street mindin' my own affair

When two policemen grab me, I was unaware

Says «Your name Bear?»

I said «Why sure»

«Well, then you’re the boy we been lookin' for»

I got framed

Well, I was blamed (Ah, that’s the truth)

I didn’t do nothin' wrong

But I always get framed, I get blamed

«Say, where was you on the night of June 29?»

Well I’s in bed, he said «Jury, that hippie’s lyin'»

I knew I was the victim of some scoundrel’s evil plan

When a stool pigeon walked in and said «Er, uh, that’s the man»

I was framed

Well, I was blamed

Never do nothin' wrong

But I always get framed, I get blamed

Denied the charges of robbin' the liquor store

Denied the charges of carryin' a 44

Denied the charges of vagrancy, too

But when the judge walked out, put a reefer in my pocket, poured whiskey on my

head, turned around to the jury and said «Convict, that hippie’s an addict»

What could I do?

I got framed

Lord, I was blamed, people, I’m goin' insane

Never do nothin' wrong

But I, I always get framed, I get blamed

(Ah, blow it away, Henry)

I’m not a crazy man, but there’s one thing I know

How to wring out a ball to make that green grass grow

Ain’t do nothing wrong, just wanna have some fun

Whiskey was illegal in 1931

It’s a shame

Aw, babe, it’s a shame

Never do nothin' wrong

But we always get framed, we get blamed

Just one more thing here, people, before I go

We’re all gonna reap exactly what we sow

Don’t do nothin' wrong, don’t get yourself uptight

Just stay cool and things gonna be alright

It’s alright

Whoa, baby, it’s alright, you look so right

Don’t you get yourself uptight

Lord, I said things gonna be alright, gonna be alright

Don’t you do nothin' wrong

And you’ll never get framed or get blamed
