Ferlin Husky Lyrics
"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...)
