(what Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue Lyrics

(what Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue

Old empty bed...springs hard as lead

Feel like ol' Ned...wished I was dead

What did I do...to be so black and blue



  Even the mouse...ran from my house

They laugh at you...and scorn you too

What did I do...to be so black and blue



  I'm white...inside...but, that don't help my case

'cause I...can't hide...what is in my face

(jazzman sounds)



  How would it end...ain't got a friend

My only sin...is in my skin

What did I do...to be so black and blue



  (instrumental break)



  How would it end...ain't got a friend

My only sin...is in my skin

What did I do...to be so black and blue
