Old empty bed...springs hard as leadFeel like ol’ Ned...wished I was deadWhat did I do...to be so black and blueEven the mouse...ran from my houseThey laugh at you...and scorn you tooWhat did I do...to be so black and blueI'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 friendMy only sin...is in my skinWhat did I do...to be so black and blue(instrumental break)How would it end...ain't got a friendMy only sin...is in my skinWhat did I do...to be so black and blue
