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
