| 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
|
| Cause 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
|
| Cause 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? |
