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)
