Bessie Smith rocks out in this very blues-inspired anthem to freedom.

Black Sheep ©2012 Rudy Simone words and music

Bye bye said the black sheep I been here too long
Bye bye said the black sheep I hung round here too long
I heard you say you ain’t gonna miss me when I’m gone

I was just a child didn’t ask to be born Left me runnin’ wild then tell me I’m all wrong
Gave me nothing I could use for my journey on

Bye bye said the black sheep I been here too long
Bye bye said the black sheep I hung round here too long
Yea I know you aint gonna miss me when I’m gone

Love aint just a word you don’t say what you mean
Your actions lack the conviction of your dreams
Gonna dry my dogs, take my tears and leave

Bye bye said the black sheep I been here too long
Bye bye said the black sheep I hung round here too long
Yea I know, you’re gonna miss me when I’m gone

Someday I’ll show em, I’ll show em all what I can do
But don’t think you know me till you walk a mile in my shoes
Then you’ll finally know this black sheep Then you’ll finally know this black sheep
Then you’ll finally know this black sheep is really blue
