They ask black sheep of the black sheep's son
"Have you any wool?", and I say, "No sir, I gave it all away"
I'm a black sheep of a black sheep and I
Been one many times but that don't make me anybody's fool
I gave most to Christ Jesus for saving my soul
For that bet with the devil who lives down below
There's been some for my mother, my father
My sister, my brothers, my son, my daughter, my lover
There's been some for that homeless man
That I watched die in some ally
With a slit wrist, I went home to cry
There's been some for my buddies fightin' in some rich man's war
Yeah, they gave all they could, we don't sing no more
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
They ask black sheep of a black sheep's son
"Where have you been, we've been worried, we've been in need?"
"I've been hidin' on the pathways
Biding my time amongst the wolves, hungry to feed
Well, I give what I can, the nature of man
Just needs war so what can I say
Yeah, I'll die someday stripped
Havin' given all the gifts I've received that is my pain"
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
I stand naked and cold as a crowd gathers 'round
Black sheep of a black sheep's son
"Have you any wool?", and I say
"Yeah, I saved some for you"
