Framed Lyrics by Jerry Reed

Ko-Ko Joe

0

I was walkin' down the street, kinda mindin' my own affairs
When a policeman walked up to me, kinda unaware
He said, Son, is your name Jerry Reed? I said, Why sure
He said, Whaddayaknow son, you the one we been lookin' for
I said, Unh-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, Unh-uh woman, I'm bein' framed
Lord, I'm bein' framed
I said, Woman, I don't never 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's lyin'
I said, No I ain't, I'm bein' framed
Bein' framed
I said, Judge, I don't never 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'm bein' 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'm bein' framed
He said, Well son, you lookin' like, like an 8×10, hah-hah hah-hah
I turned to him, I turned to him, and I said, Appeal, appeal
He said, That's right boy, you a peel
With a capital P
You understand that, you hillbilly?
