C F In a little country village not
C very far away There lived a rich but aged man
D7 G7 whose hair was turning gray
C He had three sons three only ones
F C both Jack and Tom were sly
F C G7 But Ted was honest as could be he
C would not tell a lie The brothers tried to ruin Ted
F C before the old man's eyes At last the plot begin its work till
D7 G7 Ted was much despised
C The father then said be gone
F C you're heartless to the core
F C Then the black sheep's words they
G7 C came just ringing through the door Don't be angry with me dad don't
F C drive me from your door I know that I've been wayward but
D7 G7 I won't be anymore
C Just give me one more chance and
F C put me to the test

F C You'll find the black sheep loves
G7 C his dad far better than the rest Year by year sped quickly by the
F C father who had now grown old He called to them both Jack and Tom
D7 G7 and gave them all his gold
C F I only need a little room a place
C at your fireside
F C One night on Jack's returning home
G7 C he brought with him a bride The three began to hate the father
F C more and more each day At last he heard the three declare
D7 G7 why the old fool's in our way
C They then agreed to send him to
F C the poorhouse that was near
F C Then like a flash the black
G7 C sheep's words came ringing in his ear
F A wagon drives up to the door it is
C the poorhouse band The brothers pointed to their dad
D7 G7 right there is your man
C Then a manly form appeared came
F C rushing through the crowd
F C Stop this you brutes the lad
G7 C replied it shall not be allowed You've took the old man's property
F C and all that he could save You've even sold the little lot
D7 G7 containing mother's grave
C F I am his son but not your kin
C from now till judgment day
F C The father clasped the black
G7 C sheep's hand and they all heard him say
F Don't be angry with me son I know I
C drove you from my door I know that I've been foolish lad
D7 G7 I've repented o'er and o'er
C I should have given you my gold
F C for you have stood the test
F C I found the black sheep loves his
G7 C dad for better than the rest
