Lyrics Black and Blue (10-28-50) - Roy Eldridge

Black and Blue (10-28-50)

Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead
feel like old Ned
wish i was there
all my life through I’ve been so black and blue
Even the mouse ran from my house
they laugh at you, and scorn at you
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, oh what is on my mind
how will it end, aint got a friend
my only sin is in my skin
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, oh what is on my mind
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?
