I haven't had the proper energy going for a song for Sioux in ages, but I just cranked this up, and it was a Sioux moment :) Black Sheep John Anderson My Daddy was a breakman, On a high-ball traveling train. And Momma she raised four little children , And our family had a good name. And Papa and Momma wanted, All for us they never had. Big brother, little brother, and sister too, No, they didn't turn out half bad. 'Cept me: I'm the black sheep of the family. Big brother went to college, And became a doctor man. I guess he makes about a million dollars a year, Off of folks' home insurance plans. He's got a big long Mercedes Benz, And a house overlooking the town. He sits in his jacuzzi, And he watches the sun go down. And he feels real sorry for me: I'm the black sheep of the family. Yeah, I drive me a big ol' semi-truck, I'm making payments on a two-room shack, My wife she waits on tables, And at night she rubs my back. And I tell her what my Papa said to my Momma, When he got off a high-ball train: "Wake me up early, be good to my dogs, "And teach my children to pray." Little sister married a banker, yeah, And he owns a country club. He bought her a big ol' racing horse, And a funny looking little dog. He buys her big rings of diamonds, And a brand new Japanese yacht. And they like to get together, And talk about all the things they got, But they never mention me: I'm the black sheep of the family. Yeah, I drive me a big ol' semi-truck, I'm making payments on a two-room shack, My wife she waits on tables, And at night she rubs my back. And I tell her what my Papa said to my Momma, When he got off a high-ball train: "Wake me up early, be good to my dogs, "And teach my children to pray." I'm saying: "Woman, wake me up early, be good to my dogs, "And teach my children to pray."
