They ask the blacksheep of the blacksheep?s son
Have you any wool
And I say no sir I gave it all away
I?m a blacksheep of a blacksheep
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
Verse
They ask a blacksheep of a blacksheep?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 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
Verse
Blacksheep of a blacksheep?s son
Have you any wool and I say yeah
Yeah I saved some for you
