1
On a brig loaded with timber headed
2
For the North Maine coast, they took on some rough seas
3
The captain and his slave fought back the heavy waves
4
But they were threatenin' to break her up so badly
5
See two days before they left the outer banks
6
And made good time up to Boston
7
The North of Essex the sky grew dark
8
He missed his mark he was makin' and life can change so fast
9
The captain had seen many a day
10
When the winds blew and the waters raged
11
But it was just a part of the life he made for himself
12
Runnin' the coast of New England
13
The ship heaved and cracked threw the men
14
On their backs as the water came rushin' in
15
But the captain fought hard yet, he yelled against
16
The splinterin' wreck, I have done you wrong son
17
And I should be forsaken for what I have done
18
Oh but Ben reached a timber to stay afloat
19
He grabbed the captain's braided coat
20
He swam him to the nearest shore
21
Dragged him up 'til he couldn't pull no more
22
And he left him breathin', left him breathin' dry
23
The captain said in all my days, I never seen anybody save
24
The very person who kept him enslaved
25
Goddamn it Ben, you should have your freedom
26
For what you have done
27
I should be forsaken for what I have done
28
Somewhere off the Maine coast
29
At the mouth of the New Meadows River there's a island
30
Where a marooned man lived out his life quietly under tide and sky
31
Never forgettin' when the sea rose up so high
32
The captain said in all my days, I never seen anybody save
33
The very person who kept him enslaved
34
Goddamn it Ben, you should have your freedom
35
For what you have done
