Black Sheep

(Jack Rhodes - Ferlin Husky)



(Black sheep, black sheep)



This world holds many mysteries

That I don't understand

One is why the wanderlust

Is born in the heart of a man.



I kissed young lips that thrilled me so

And set my soul on fire

I'm a black sheep boy and I just can't find

The lips my heart desire.



Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)

Why do I have to roam

Why can't I have a happy heart

Like other guys I've known?



This wanderlust in my hungry heart

Keeps me on the road

I'm a black sheep boy, there's a lot more oats

That we've gotta sow.



Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)



I've known life I've tasted love

From a girl that's true and sweet

She haunts me in my dreams at night

And I can hardly sleep.



I won her self fancy then

But my wanderin' heart says no

Black sheep boy with a lot more places

We've gotta go.



Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)

Why do I have to roam

Why can't I have a happy heart

Like other guys I've known?



I can hear my mama say

As she sits there all alone

My black sheep boy is a coming back

Never more to roam.



Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)

Why do I have to roam

Why can't I have a happy heart

Like other guys I've known?



Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep (black sheep)

Black sheep. (black sheep...)
