Lyrics Black and Blue - Ethel Waters
Out
in
the
street,
shufflin'
feet
Couples
passin'
two
by
two
While
here
am
I,
left
high
and
dry
Black,
and
'cause
I'm
black
I'm
blue
Browns
and
yellers,
all
have
fellers
Gentlemen
prefer
them
light
Wish
I
could
fade,
can't
make
the
grade
Nothing
but
dark
days
in
sight
Cold,
empty
bed,
springs
hard
as
lead
Pains
in
my
head,
feel
like
old
Ned
What
did
I
do
to
be
so
black
and
blue?
No
joys
for
me,
no
company
Even
the
mouse
ran
from
my
house
All
my
life
through
I've
been
so
black
and
blue
I'm
white
inside,
it
don't
help
my
case
'Cause
I
can't
hide,
what
is
on
my
face,
oh!
I'm
so
forlorn,
life's
just
a
thorn
My
heart
is
torn,
why
was
I
born?
What
did
I
do
to
be
so
black
and
blue?
'Cause
you're
black,
folks
think
you
lack
They
laugh
at
you,
and
scorn
you
too
What
did
I
do
to
be
so
black
and
blue?
When
you
are
near,
they
laugh
and
sneer
Set
you
aside
and
you're
denied
What
did
I
do
to
be
so
black
and
blue?
How
sad
I
am,
each
day
I
feel
worse
My
mark
of
Ham
seems
to
be
a
curse,
oh
How
will
it
end?
ain't
got
a
friend
My
only
sin
is
my
skin
What
did
I
do
to
be
so
black
and
blue?
