Who am I?
It ain't so deep:
I'm the guy the home folks call—
The Black Sheep.
I ran away.
Went to the city.
Look at me now and
Laugh — or take pity.
I'm the bad egg, see!
Didn't turn out right.
My people disowned me—
So I'm hustlin' in the night.
Drinkin' and gamblin' now,
And livin' on gals.
Red-hot — that's me,
With a lot o' sporty pals.
Spendin' money like water.
Drinkin' life like wine.
Not livin' like I oughter,
But — ain't my life mine?
It ain't so deep:
I'm the guy the home folks call—
The Black Sheep.
I ran away.
Went to the city.
Look at me now and
Laugh — or take pity.
I'm the bad egg, see!
Didn't turn out right.
My people disowned me—
So I'm hustlin' in the night.
Drinkin' and gamblin' now,
And livin' on gals.
Red-hot — that's me,
With a lot o' sporty pals.
Spendin' money like water.
Drinkin' life like wine.
Not livin' like I oughter,
But — ain't my life mine?
