"John Anderson Black Sheep" 的歌詞如下：
Well, John Anderson, he was a black sheep
All the girls in town they detested him
Well, he had a pretty little wife
And he was a good provider
But he was a no good rounder
And he was a no good rounder
And he was a no good rounder
And he was a black sheep
Well, he's been in jail now for a year or two
And he's out on bail and he's gettin' well done
And when he goes to church, I can tell you now
He sits up there like a scarecrow
And I hope you get the chance to catch up on all your sleep my friend
Because there's a flock of black sheep on the way and you won't have any place to turn
They're coming from every corner of the land
To take you away to jail
Well, I don't know about you but I ain't sorry
To see you hanging your head in shame
But if you're lucky enough to be on the right side of the law
You might want to change your ways and stay there
Cause there's a flock of black sheep on the way
And you won't have any place to turn
They're coming from every corner of the land
To take you away to jail, boy!
這是一首諷刺和譴責約翰·安德森不負責任生活的歌曲。歌詞中提到他是一個不受歡迎的人，有漂亮的小妻子，但他的行為是惡劣的。歌詞還提到了他在牢里服刑，然後再次出獄，希望能改過自新。但是，歌曲最後以警告的形式再次提到了一群來自各地的新黑羊將帶走他並監禁他。
