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?
