Black Sheep - Gin Wigmore


(One of the most bad-ass songs I've ever heard.  This song became a great favorite from the moment I first heard it.) 

I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my own mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?

I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner, but my colour comes back
Once you go black you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep



I wasn't born a beauty queen but I'm okay with that
Maybe radio won't mind if I sing a little flat
I wear my boots to bed, hang a cross up on the wall
To save me from a shallow break who wants to take us all

Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?
Everybody's doing it so why the hell should I?

I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner, but my colour comes back
Once you go black you never go back
I'm a black sheep
I'm a black sheep

I got lots of jealous lovers that all wish they had me back
Got a pistol for a mouth, my own mama gave me that
Making my own road out of gravel and some wine
And if I have to fall then it won't be in your line

I'm a bad woman to keep
Make me mad, I'm not here to please
Paint me in a corner, but my colour comes back
Once you go black you never go back
Once you go black you never go back
