Black And Blue

Black And Blue
music by Thomas "Fats" Waller (left) & Harry Brooks
lyric by Andy Razaf (right)

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?
