[Verse 1]
Black sheep lays around drinkin' 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 countin' the cellar, can't help nobody
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Heh-heh-heh, three bags full
For his friends,and he ain't got an enemy in the world
[Verse 2]
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
Well, he's savin' them up for a rainy day
And it rained yesterday, ain't got none left
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, three bags full
[Verse 3]
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
Layin' up there alone, dead
[Verse 4]
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'
[Chorus]
Black sheep, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Heh-heh-heh-heh, three bags full
[Outro]
Just layin' up there dead
And still grinnin'
Like he was holdin' out on everybody
Like he knew all along where it was at
