Black Sheep Of The Family Lyrics - Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow

I've got nothing in my head, got a floor for a bed 

My future's at the bottom of a teacup 

I've got a half a pair of shoes, and no time to lose 

I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up 

So fortune shine your light on me and my nose 

'Cause we need some security 

You get a little bad luck and it grows and it grows 

I'm the black sheep of the family 

I've got half a pound of rice, a beard full of lice 

A mission called retrogression 

I've got a pocket full of dust, and eating is a must 

If you want to make a good impression 

So fortune shine your light on me and my dog 

'Cause we need some security 

While other folks are living high on the hog 

I'm the black sheep of the family

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Don't talk to me about society 

You got to play by the rules or pay the penalty 

Because there's nothing to choose 

Between a handful of blues 

Double indemnity 

All the words are wrong, and my shadow's getting long 

I realise this song don't mean much 

I got an ache in my head, and want to go to bed 

Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no 

So wisdom shine your light on me and my knees 

'Cause it's true what they say about familiarity 

There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say 

I'm the black sheep of the family 

Oh my, wisdom shine your light on me and my knees 

It's true what they say about familiarity 

There's nothing good this way, it's true what they say 

I'm the black sheep of the family

I'm the black sheep of the family 

Just me and my dog yeah 

I'm the black sheep of the family 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I'm the black sheep of the family 

you got me on my knees 

I'm the black sheep of the family 

Yeah, yeah, yeah
