Cold empty bed, springs hard as lead
Pains in my head, feel like old Ned
What did I do to be so black and blue?

No joys for me, no company

Even the mouse ran from my house
All my life through I´ve been so black and blue

I´m white inside, but that don´t help my case
´Cause I can´t hide what is on my face
I´m so forlorn. Life´s just a thorn
My heart is torn. Why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?

I´m hurt inside, but that don´t help my case
´Cause I can´t hide what is on my face
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?
Tell me, what did I do?
What did I do?  What did I do?
What did I do?  What did I do?
What did I do?  What did I do?

What did I do? Tell me, what did I do to be so black and blue?
What did I do to be so black and blue?
