The page contains the lyrics of the song "Black and Blue (What Did I Do to Be So)" by Louis Armstrong.

Lyrics

Cold empty bed, spring’s hard as lead
Feels like ole ned, wished I was dead
What did I do to be so black and blue
Mm, 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
Mm, I’m white inside that don’t help my case
'Cause I 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
