For anyone who has been a Baa Baa Black Sheep, you can hear this gothic blues version by Donna Williams and The Aspinauts on our music page.BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP music and lyrics by Donna Williams 2009

The years were just a blink, kid, water down the sink.

You sure have grown since you were just a weed.

A face across an ocean, some nostalgic notion of an

exile who’s been to worlds that you can only dream.

Here you stand with those orphan eyes and a heart that has a million whys and

all you know, is you don’t know, a single thing.

I’m baa baa black sheep, Sweetheart, Mary never kept this little lamb.

I built a castle out of dust, I just left my footprints in the sand.

I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep. I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Victors write the history, pictures drawn of me are those which

pose no threat to the secrets they must keep.

Did the doggies bite you? They ripped you limb from limb. You

ran around in circles as they bit you once again and

there you stand with that fragile smile and a soul that wants to stay for a while and

I can’t say the words you want to hear.

I’m baa baa black sheep, Sweetheart, Mary never kept this little lamb.

I built a castle out of dust, I just left my footprints in the sand.

I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep. I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Thought my heart was tougher, generations that might follow could just

make their way in a circus called tomorrow. But

Nobody left the keys to the only exit door and

all that had glittered only left you feeling poor. And

here I am, I got your face, huh? We stand here in this shared place and

now you’ve got my number, so maybe you might ring.

I’m baa baa black sheep, Sweetheart, Mary never kept this little lamb.

I built a castle out of dust, I just left my footprints in the sand.

I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep. I’m Baa Baa Black Sheep.
