Framed

Lyrics

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?
