Reed, Jerry - Framed Lyrics






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

    gimme the Boogie Woogie Blues i remember being a kid in the early 70's & playing this record on speed 72... & me & my brother & sister laughing so hard. way before the chipmunks were known..... good times. when having 3 brothers & 3 sisters & being a part of a big brood wasnt uncomon. & fighting each other for last last slice of watermelon. & being so poor sometimes my mom only had enuff money to buy a half gallon of ice cream . in the summer & we'd have ice cream for dinner. & we just thought that was awesome. good times.70's was the best time for music cause we had it on all fronts. by the way this was my moms album. she was the 50's rock & roller & country music cultural ambassador in my life thank you mom. & thankyou to the poster of this video.

    @Camilo21986 I have this album on cd and vinyl. With other albums i have found an enormous diff between the two media, but i must say they did a great job on the transfer with some of Jerry's albums. The vinyl does just have that xtra feeling, though. Hope it helps
