One Man Mormon Blues Band: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Part of this song is about my sister, part is about my sons, and part is about my youth. Yea, but I think mostly the spirit of the song is about my sister.

I had a dream the other night
I awoke with a terrible fright
It all seemed real and plausible
I guess that’s why I was uncomfortable
I dreamed I died and on the other side
An old man advanced with a steady stride
From his pocket he pulled a list
And started in asking did I do this and this and this and this

Well it kind of caught me by surprise
See I was thinking I was still alive
Then I begin to catch the drift
And underwent an paradigm shift
When he asked about my sister’s hair
And the cranberry sauce and the underwear
I could see I had to do something fast
So I stammered and I stuttered and I said at last . . .

CHORUS
I was framed I don’t care what they say
Like I was the only one to blame
I was framed I don’t know what she said
I don’t know nothing about a mouse in her bed
(2nd and 3rd vs - How was I to know someday
I might be dead)
I was framed This ain’t no game
She always was a dizzy dame
Telling lies that were pretty lame
All I’m saying is I was framed

Later on as he went down the list
And he got to the part about my first kiss
Some girl claimed that while I was her man
I accidently held another girls hand
And all those girls that I never took out
How was I to know they would complain and pout
I was just having fun just being friendly
Look at my face I’m sure you can see . . .

Then there was that time in the park
It didn’t mean a thing it was just a lark
I forgot all about that orchard prank
How were we to know he’d be such a crank
Saint Peter sighed and he shook his head
Made me wish that I was dead
But I guess that wouldn’t be the best
Since that’s how I got into this mess
