Framed

I was walkin' down the street kinda mindin' my own affairs

When the policeman walked up to me kinda unaware

He said son is your name Jerry Reed I said why sure

He said whadda ya know son you’re the one we’ve been lookin' for

I said uh uh

I'm bein' framed I'm bein' framed

I said officer I don't never do nothin' wrong

But I always get the blame I get framed

He took me down to the lineup and let the bright lights shine

There was nine other poor souls with me up there in that line

But I had a feelin' I was a victim of somebody's evil plan

Cause this woman pointed her finger at me and said that skinny one he's the man

I said uh uh woman

I'm bein' framed Lord I'm bein' framed

I said woman I don't ever do nothin' wrong

But honey I always get the blame I get framed

Well then the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' on me

Started jumpin' up and down stompin' his feet givin' me the third degree

He said son where was you on the night of October 29

I said I was down at Tootsie's he said judge that man is lyin' I said no I ain’t

I'm bein' framed bein' framed

I said Judge I don't ever do nothin' wrong

But I always get the blame

Well I denied the charges of carryin' that big ol' .44

I even denied the charges of robbin' that liquor store

I denied the charges of bein' drunk and disorderly too

But when the judge said step forward son well I staggered to my feet

I walked across the floor I tripped and I fall

And my gun went off and shot a hole in the bottom of my boots

And I said Judge Judge Judge

I've been framed Your Honor I'm bein' framed

I said I don't never do nothin’ wrong Your Honor

But I always get the blame I get framed

I said Judge I been framed

He said son well you look alot like a 8x10

Ha ha ha I turned to my attorney and I said appeal appeal

He said that's right boy you're a peel with a capital P

You understand that you hillbilly
