[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D A Black sheep lays around drinkin' wine all day D A Readin' poetry and layin' in the grass D A D A Ask him for a drink, he'll give you a glass D A White sheep drinks one glass of beer a year D A Ask him for a shot, he says it's all he's got D A Not countin' the cellar, can't help nobody
[Chorus]
A C Black sheep, black sheep F D Have you any wool? A Heh-heh-heh, three bags full A For his friends, and he ain't got an enemy in the world
[Verse 2]
A D A Black sheep, he's got an old ragged coat of black D A Tell him you're cold, he'll take it off his back D A White sheep's got thirty coats or more D A Saved up from the last year and the year before D A Well, he's savin' them up for a rainy day D A And it rained yesterday, ain't got none left
[Chorus]
A C Black sheep, black sheep F D Have you any wool? A Yes, three bags full
[Verse 3]
A D A White sheep he died a wealthy man A Had five gold watches D A Six gold rings on his hands A Had a million-dollar funeral D A D A But it's a shame, nobody came A Layin' up there alone, dead
[Verse 4]
A D A Black sheep left the world in a rough pine box D A Everybody came 'round, laughing, telling jokes D A The old women cried 'cause the bad man he'd been A But when they passed the casket D A D A 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
[Outro]
A 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
