LOUIS ARMSTRONG – Black & Blue

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
