Black Sheep Boy Lyrics

Here I am back home again
And I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been
Knowing I've been west

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls of envied hair
Pretty girls with their faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy

Well if you love me let me live in peace
And please understand
How the black sheep can wear a golden fleece
And hold a winning hand

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls of envied hair
Pretty girls with their faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy

Here I am back home again
And I'm here to rest
All they ask is where I've been
Knowing I've been west

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls of envied hair
Pretty girls with their faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy

I'm the family's unknown boy
Golden curls of envied hair
Pretty girls with their faces fair
See the shine in the black sheep boy

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
