Black Sheep
By: John Anderson
Note: I don't know if all the lyrics are correct, so if you know
something I don't, let me know please.
Intro: G
G
My daddy was a breakman on a high ball traveling train
And mama she raised four little children and our family had a good name
C
And papa and mama wanted all for us they never had
G
Big brother, little brother, sister too
D
No they didn't turn out half bad, 'cept meeeeee
No chord
I'm the black sheep of the family
G
Big brother went to college and became a doctor man
I guess he makes about a million dollars a year
Off of folks home insurance plans
C
He's got a big long mercedes bends and a house overlooking the town
G
He sits in his jacuzzi and watches the sun go down
D No chord
And he feels real sorry for me, I'm the black sheep of the family
Chorus:
G C
Yeah, I drive me a big ol' semi-truck,
G
I'm making payments on a two-room shack
C A D
My wife she waits on tables and at night she rubs my back
G
And I tell her what my papa said to my mama
C
When he got off a high-ball train
G D G
Wake me up early, be good to my dog and teach my children to pray.
G
Little sister married a banker, yeah, and he owns a country club
He bought her a big ol' racing horse and a funny looking little dog
C
He buys her big rings of diamonds and a brand new Japanese yacht
G
And they like to get together and talk about all the things they got
D No chord
But they never mention me, I'm the black sheep of the family
Chorus
G
I'm saying woman, wake me up early......(rest of chorus)
