(What Did I Do To Be So) Black & Blue? - Jack Teagarden

Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead

Feels like ol' 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 scorn you too

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 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

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
