Helmut Lotti - Benjamin lyrics
Your rating:
Benjamin rode out of Montana On a Palomino pony He told me he was all alone He lost his family in forty-nine Benjamin took me down to San Diego I guess we caused quite a commotion Sellin' Pacific Ocean water And callin' it see weed wine I never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel He'd been every 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 everyone Who had a good friend like Benjamin Who had a good friend like Benjamin Me and Ben thumbed a ride to Alabama Spent the summer picking cotton It was so dog-gone hot we bought us A three speed electric hand Then at night we'd drink a Coca Cola And listen to the rain a fallin' And 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 every 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 everyone Who had a good friend like Benjamin Who 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 passin' time Caught a train down to Harlan County Thinkin' we were awful lucky Just to walk along Kentucky back-road Without no reason nor rhyme, oh I've never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel He'd been every 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 every one Who had a good friend like Benjamin Who had a good friend like Benjamin Who had a good friend like Benjamin Benjamin, he loved to travel He'd been every place I'd been and back again He loved to travel Never had as good a friend as Benjamin He loved to travel Oh oh Benjamin, yeah, yeah, yeah
