<br>

Lyrics by Andy Razaf<br>

Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller and Harry Brooks<br>

<br>

Cold, empty bed,<br>

Springs hard as lead,<br>

Pains in my head,<br>

Feel like old Ned.<br>

What did I do <br>

To be so black and blue?<br>

<br>

No joys for me,<br>

No company,<br>

Even the mouse <br>

Ran from my house,<br>

All my life through<br>

I've been so <br>

Black and blue.<br>

<br>

I'm so forlorn,<br>

Life's just a thorn,<br>

My heart is torn,<br>

Why was I born?<br>

What did I do to be so<br>

Black and blue?<br>

<br>

I'm white inside,<br>

But that don't help my case.<br>

'Cause I can't hide <br>

What is on my face,<br>

Oh!<br>

<br>

[Alternative lyrics <br>

for the last verse]<br>

I'm sad inside,<br>

But it don't help my case<br>

'Cause I can't hide<br>

All the sorrow<br>

That's on my face.<br>

<br>
