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