《Black Sheep》歌词

[00:00:02] In a little country village not very far away

[00:00:10] There lived a rich but aged man whose hair was turning gray

[00:00:18] He had three sons three only ones both Jack and Tom were sly

[00:00:26] But Ted was honest as could be he would not tell a lie

[00:00:35] The brothers tried to ruin Ted before the old man's eyes

[00:00:43] At last the plot begin its work till Ted was much despised

[00:00:51] The father then said begone you're heartless to the core

[00:00:59] Then the black's sheeps words they came just a ringing through the door

[00:01:08] Don't be angry with me dad don't drive me from your door

[00:01:17] I know that I've been wayward but I won't be anymore

[00:01:24] Just give me one more chance and put me to the test

[00:01:32] You'll find the black sheep loves his dad for better than the rest

[00:01:42] Year by year sped quickly by the father now grown old

[00:01:50] He called to them both Jack and Tom and gave them all his gold

[00:01:58] I only need a little room a place at your fireside

[00:02:05] One night on Jacks' returning home he brought with him a bride

[00:02:15] The three began to hate the father more and more each day

[00:02:23] At last he heard the three declare why the old fool's in our way

[00:02:31] They then agreed to send him to the poorhouse that was near

[00:02:39] Then like a flash the black sheep's words came ringing in his ear

[00:02:49] A wagon drives up to the door it is the poorhouse band

[00:02:57] The brothers pointed to their dad right there is your man

[00:03:05] Then a manly form appeared came rushin' through the crowd

[00:03:12] Stop this you brutes the lad replied it shall not be allowed

[00:03:22] You took the old man's property and all that he could save

[00:03:30] You've even sold the little lot containing mother's grave

[00:03:38] I am his son but not your kin from now till judgement day

[00:03:46] The father clasped the black sheep's hand and they all heard him say

[00:03:56] Don't be angry with me son I know I drove you from my door

[00:04:04] I know that I've been foolish lad I've repented o'er and o'er

[00:04:12] I should have given you my gold for you have stood the test

[00:04:20] I found the black sheep loves his dad for better than the rest
