Cold empty bed...springs hurt my head
Feels like ole 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 all that you do
What did i do...to be so black and blue

I'm white...inside...but, that don't help my case
That's life...can't hide...what is in my face

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...i ain't got a friend
My only sin...is in my skin
What did i do...to be so black and blue
