This was a type song that I always liked,
you know, and this is, once again, so many
reporters and people ask me, why?
What is it about rock and roll? I said, well,
nobody likes it but the people.
This is the thing,
you know, that everybody always
says it shouldn't last,
but it did.
And the reason it did is because of the
great difference in songs all the time.
Came the era of the talking
song and the
comedy and still with the rock
and roll rhythm.
And we'll have
Nick
Masters now
an example of that of course you
don't need it because you all
remember it but there were so many great
talking songs but one of them was the
thing which incidentally
Nick has just recorded we're
coming out very shortly
and
Nick masters in a thing called free I was
walking down the street mind my
own affairs,
one of the policemen grabbed me
kind of unaware, he said,
is your name
Henry?
I said, well, sure, he said, uh -huh,
you're the cat we've been looking for.
I holla frame,
Lord, I'm a frame.
You know, I don't never
do nothing wrong,
but still I always get blamed
and framed.
They put me in the lineup and let

somebody's evil plan
Oh, and a little chick looked up and said,
Uh -huh, that's the man I'll frame
You know I'm being framed
Man, I don't never do nothing wrong
But still I always get blamed,
framed
Then the prosecuting attorney
started prosecuting me
Man that cat gave me the third degree.
He said where were you on the night of
June
29? I said home in bed.
He said judge that man's
lying. was afraid.
Lord I'm defrayed.
You know I don't never
do nothing wrong.
But still I always get blamed.
I'm defrayed.
Now listen here.
I denied the charges of
robbing that liquor store
Also denied the charge
of carrying a .44
I denied the charge of being drunk
and disorderly too
But when the judge said
come forth I stumbled
My gun went off and I shot a hole
in my bottle of booze
And I'll appraise
You know I'm being framed
Man, I don't never do nothing wrong
But still I always get blamed,
yeah, I'm brain
