Black Sheep lyrics

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
