Stonewall Jackson - Black Sheep слова песни
In a little country village not very far awayThere lived a rich but aged man whose hair was turning gray He had three sons three only ones both Jack and Tom were slyBut Ted was honest as could be he would not tell a lieThe brothers tried to ruin Ted before the old man`s eyesAt last the plot begin its work till Ted was much despisedThe father then said begone you`re heartless to the coreThen the black`s sheeps words they came just a ringing thru the doorDon`t be angry with me dad don`t drive me from your doorI know that I`ve been wayward but I won`t be anymoreJust give me one more chance and put me to the testYou`ll find the black sheep loves his dad for better than the restYear by year sped quickly by the father now grown oldHe called to them both Jack and Tom and gave them all his goldI only need a little room a place at your firesideOne night on Jacks` returning home he brought with him a brideThe three began to hate the father more and more each dayAt last he heard the three declare why the old fool`s in our wayThey then agreed to send him to the poorhouse that was nearThen like a flash the black sheep`s words came ringing in his earA wagon drives up to the door it is the poorhouse bandThe brothers pointed to their dad right there is your man Then a manly form appeared came rushin` through the crowdStop this you brutes the lad replied it shall not be allowedYou took the old man`s property and all that he could saveYou`ve even sold the little lot containing mother`s graveI am his son but not your kin from now till judgement dayThe father clasped the black sheep`s hand and they all heard him sayDon`t be angry with me son I know I drove you from my doorI know that I`ve been foolish lad I`ve repented o`er and o`erI should have given you my gold for you have stood the testI found the black sheep loves his dad for better than the rest
