[Verse 1]
Cold empty bed springs hard as lead
Feels like ole ned wished I was dead
What did I do to be so black and blue

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
I'm white inside, that don't help my case
Cos I can't hide what is in my face

[Verse 3]
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
