Cold empty bed springs hurt my head
Feels like ole 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 all that you do
What did I do to be so black and blue
I’m white inside but, that don’t help my case
That’s life 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 I ain’t got a friend
My only sin is in my skin
What did I do to be so black and blue
Got this song and a whole lot of other Louie Armstrong songs on cassette tape and CD back in the 90s. This is an incredible deep moving song. Says so much especially for the time that song was written,sang and preformed. And still says so much for this present day WOW!
