Black Sheep

G

[Verse 1]
G
My daddy was a brakeman 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
No, they didn't turn out half bad, 
      D
'cept meeeeee
N.C.
I'm the black sheep of the family

[Verse 2]
G
Big brother went to college and 
became a doctor man

I guess he makes about a million 
dollars a year

Off of folks own insurance plans
           C
He's got a big long Mercedes Benz 
and a house overlooking the town

   G
He sits in his jacuzzi and he 
watches the sun go down
       D                        N.C.
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                               
My wife, she waits on tables and at
 A                 D
 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                                 
Wake me up early, be good to my 
       D                    G
dogs and teach my children to pray

[Verse 3]
G
Little sister married a banker, 
yeah, 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 and diamonds 
and a brand new Japanese yacht
    G
And they like to get together and 
talk about all the things they've 
got
    D                      N.C.
But they never mention 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                               
My wife, she waits on tables and at
 A                 D
 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                                 
Wake me up early, be good to my 
       D                    G
dogs and teach my children to pray
                  G                
I'm saying woman, wake me up early,
                        D       
 be good to my dogs and teach my 
             G
children to pray
