1
In a little country village not very far away
2
There lived a rich but aged man whose hair was turning gray
3
He had three sons three only ones both Jack and Tom were sly
4
But Ted was honest as could be he would not tell a lie
5
The brothers tried to ruin Ted before the old man's eyes
6
At last the plot begin its work till Ted was much despised
7
The father then said begone you're heartless to the core
8
Then the black's sheeps words they came just a ringing thru the door
9
Don't be angry with me dad don't drive me from your door
10
I know that I've been wayward but I won't be anymore
11
Just give me one more chance and put me to the test
12
You'll find the black sheep loves his dad for better than the rest
13
Year by year sped quickly by the father now grown old
14
He called to them both Jack and Tom and gave them all his gold
15
I only need a little room a place at your fireside
16
One night on Jacks' returning home he brought with him a bride
17
The three began to hate the father more and more each day
18
At last he heard the three declare why the old fool's in our way
19
They then agreed to send him to the poorhouse that was near
20
Then like a flash the black sheep's words came ringing in his ear
21
A wagon drives up to the door it is the poorhouse band
22
The brothers pointed to their dad right there is your man
23
Then a manly form appeared came rushin' through the crowd
24
Stop this you brutes the lad replied it shall not be allowed
25
You took the old man's property and all that he could save
26
You've even sold the little lot containing mother's grave
27
I am his son but not your kin from now till judgement day
28
The father clasped the black sheep's hand and they all heard him say
29
Don't be angry with me son I know I drove you from my door
30
I know that I've been foolish lad I've repented o'er and o'er
31
I should have given you my gold for you have stood the test
32
I found the black sheep loves his dad for better than the rest
