Blacksheep

They ask black sheep of a black sheep’s son

Have you any wool, and I say no sir

I gave it all away

I'm a black sheep of a black sheep

And I’ve been one many times

But that don’t make me anybody’s fool

I gave most to Christ Jesus for saving my soul

For that bet with the devil who lives down below

There’s been some for my mother, my father

My sister, my brothers, my son, my daughter, my lover

There’s been some for that homeless man

That I watched die in some ally

With a slit wrist I went home to cry

There’s been some for my buddies fightin’

In some rich man’s war

Yeah they gave all they could

We don’t sing no more

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

They ask black sheep of a black sheep’s son

Where have you been

We’ve been worried, we’ve been in need

I’ve been hidin’ on the pathways

Biding my time amongst the wolves hungry to feed

Well I give what I can nature of man

Just needs war so what can I say

Yeah I’ll die someday stripped

Havin’ given all the gifts I’ve received

That is my pain

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

I stand naked and cold as the crowd gathers ‘round

Black sheep of a black sheep’s son

Have you any wool, and I say yeah

I saved some for you
