Black and Blue - Ethel Waters/Sophie Tucker
Written by：A. Razaf/Fats Waller/H. Brooks/Frank Walker
Out in the street
Shufflin' feet
Couples passin' two by two
And here am I
Left high and dry
Black and 'cause I'm black I'm blue
All the raised fellers
Crave high yellow
Gentlemen prefer them light
I'm just another spade
Who can't make the grade
Looka like there's nothing but dark days in sight
With a cold empty bed
Springs hard as lead
Pains in my head and I 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
But it's inside
So that don't help my case
'Cause I
Can't hide
Just what is on my face oh
Sad and forlorn
Life's just a thorn
My heart is torn oh why was I born
What did I do
To be so black and blue
Just 'cause you're black
Boys think you lack
They laugh at you and scorn you too
What did I do
To be so black and blue
When I drove near
They laugh and sneer
I'm set aside
Always denied
All my life through
I've been so black and blue
How sad
I am
And each day the situation gets worse
My Mark
Of ham
Seems to be a curse oh
How will it end
Can't got a boyfriend
Yet my only sin
Lies in my skin
What did I do
To be so black and blue
