(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...
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
