Black Sheep

Black sheep lays around drinking wine all day Readin' poetry and layin' in the grass Ask him for a drink, he'll give you a glass White sheep drinks one glass of beer a year Ask him for a shot, he says it's all he's got Not down from the cellar Can't help nobody Black sheep, black sheep Have you any wool? Three bags full For his friends he ain't got in the world Black sheep, he's got an old ragged coat of black Tell him you're cold, he'll take it off his back White sheep he's got thirty coats or more Saved up from the last year and the year before Been savin' them up for a rainy day And it rained yesterday, ain't got none left Black sheep, black sheep Have you any wool? Yeah, three bags full White sheep he died a wealthy man Had five gold watches, six gold rings on his hand Had a million dollar funeral but it's a shame Nobody came Ain't not fair Alone, dead Black sheep left the world in a rough pine box Everybody came 'round Laughing, telling jokes The old women cried 'cause the bad man he'd been But when they passed the casket And everyone looked in Seemed like he grinned Like he know somethin' Black sheep, black sheep Have you any wool? Three bags full Just layin' over there dead Still grinnin' like he was holdin' out on everybody
