(What Did I Do To Be So) Black And Blue — Louis Armstrong

Old empty bed...springs hard as lead Feel like ol' 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 scorn you too What did I do...to be so black and blue

I'm white...inside...but, that don't help my case 'cause I...can't hide...what is in my face (jazzman sounds)

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

(instrumental break)

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
