Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs - 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'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 hands,
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 knowed somethin'.

Black sheep, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Three bags full.

Just layin' up there dead,
Still grinnin' like he was holdin' out on everybody,
Like he knew all along where was there...
