Well I was hauling logs ten years ago 
    D 
The news was out on the radio 
       Em 
That a shot was fired the night before 
      C 
And a local man lay dead on the floor 
G 
And the dust was flying in the lumberyard 
D 
Lights were flashing on two black cars 
        Em 
I said, sheriff I ain't done nothing wrong 
        C (hold) 
He just knocked me down and put the handcuffs on 
 
       G          D 
I was framed, they took me away 
     Em             C 
Like I was the only one to blame 
G       D 
Framed, guilty they said 
Em                 C 
Railroaded me on a one way train 
G              D 
Framed, and on judgement day 
     Em                 C 
They want me to hang my head in shame 
            G                D 
But I was framed, and that's all I'll say

Barbara Jo cried through the glass 
       D 
At the murder trial I seen her last 
  Em 
I loved that woman but now she's free 
    C 
She turned away when they sentenced me 
G 
And the guilty man ain't never told 
    D 
Ten years later they put me on the road 
    Em 
And I'll always say that I got screwed
