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
