Cold empty bed springs our heart has lead Pains in my head feel like old ned Hay what did I do To be so black and blue
No joys for me no company Even a mouse seems to run from my house And all my life through I've been black and blue
Hay now I am white when I'm deep inside you baby that don't help my case Honey just because I can't hide what is on my face I'm so forlorn My heart is torn Life is a thorn oh why was I born What did I do to be so black and blue
musical interlude
Hay now I am white when I'm deep inside you baby that don't help my case Honey just because I can't hide what is on my face Lordy listen to me I'm so forlorn My heart is torn Life is a thorn oh why was I born Hay what did I do to be so black and blue
