Old empty bed, springs all of lead
Feel like old Ned, wish I was dead
All my life through I've been so black and blue?
Even the mouse ran from my house
They laugh at you and scorn you too
What did I do then 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 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?
