Lyrics
Benjamin rode out of Montana on a Palomino pony Told me he was all alone, he lost his family in '49 Benjamin took me to San Diego, guess we caused quite a commotion Sellin' Pacific Ocean water and callin' it seaweed wine I never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel He'd been ever' place I'd been and back again That boy could unravel Stories that would make your eyes Big as blackberry pies, I'm tellin' you Life could be fun for anyone Who had a good friend like Bеnjamin Had a good friend like Benjamin Mе and Ben thumbed a ride to Alabama, spent the summer pickin' cotton Now, it was so doggone hot, and we bought us a three-speed electric fan Then at night we'd drink a Coca-Cola, listen to the rain a-fallin' Hearin' the bob white callin' as though he'd know we'd understand I never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel He'd been ever' place I'd been and back again That boy could unravel Stories that would make your eyes Big as blackberry pies, I'm tellin' you Life could be fun for anyone Who had a good friend like Benjamin Had a good friend like Benjamin Ben and me spent some time in Oklahoma livin' on a reservation Workin' at a service station, pumpin' gas and pa**in' time We caught a train down to Harlan County thinkin' we were awful lucky Just to walk along a Kentucky backroad without no reason nor rhyme I never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel He'd been ever' place I'd been and back again That boy could unravel Stories that would make your eyes Big as blackberry pies, I'm tellin' you Life could be fun for anyone Who had a good friend like Benjamin Had a good friend like Benjamin Had a good friend like Benjamin
