Black And Blue lyrics

Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead

Pains in my head, feel like old Ned

What did I do to be so black and blue?

No joys for me, no company

Even the mouse ran from my house

All my life through I've been so black and blue

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

'Coz I can't hide what is on my face

I'm so forlorn. Life's just a thorn

My heart is torn. Why was I born?

What did I do to be so black and blue?

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

'Coz I can't hide what is on my face

How will it end? Ain't got a friend

My only sin is in my skin

What did I do to be so black and blue?

Tell me, what did I do?

What did I do? What did I do?

What did I do? What did I do?

What did I do? What did I do?

What did I do? Tell me, what did I do to be so black and blue?

What did I do to be so black and blue?
