Black sheep left the world in a rough pine box

And everyone looked in, seemed like he grinned

A
Like he knowed somethin'
[Chorus]
A            C
Black sheep, black sheep

F            D
Have you any wool?

                            A
Heh-heh-heh-heh, three bags full

Just layin' up there dead

A
And still grinnin'

A
Like he was holdin' out on everybody

A
Like he knew all along where it was at
