1
Benjamin rode out of Montana
2
On a Palomino pony
3
He told me he was all alone
4
He lost his family in forty-nine
5
Benjamin took me to San Diego
6
Guess we caused quite a commotion
7
Selling Pacific ocean water
8
And callin' it seaweed wine
9
[Chorus]
10
Oh, I never had as good a friend as Benjamin
11
He loved to travel
12
He'd been ever' place I'd been and back again
13
That boy could unravel
14
Stories that would make your eyes
15
Big as blackberry pies, I'm tellin' you
16
Life could be fun for anyone
17
Who had a good friend like Benjamin
18
Had a good friend like Benjamin
19
Well, me and Ben thumbed a ride to Alabama
20
Spent the summer pickin' cotton
21
Now it was so doggone hot
22
We bought us a three-speed electric fan
23
Then at night we'd drink a Coca-Cola
24
Listen to the rain a'fallin'
25
Hearin' the bob white callin'
26
As though he'd know we'd understand
27
[Chorus]
28
Well, Ben and me spent some time in Oklahoma
29
Livin' on a reservation
30
Workin' at the service station
31
Pumpin' gas and passin' time
32
We caught a train down to Harlan County
33
Thinkin' we were awful lucky
34
Just to walk along a Kentucky back road
35
Without no reason nor rhyme
36
[Chorus]
37
Had a good friend like Benjamin
