Benjamin Lyrics - Singles - Bobbie Gentry

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 to San Diego 

Guess we caused quite a commotion 

Selling Pacific ocean water 

And callin' it seaweed wine 

 

(Chorus) 

Oh, 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 

 

Well, me and Ben thumbed a ride to Alabama 

Spent the summer pickin' cotton 

Now it was so doggone hot 

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 

 

(Chorus) 

 

Well, Ben and me spent some time in Oklahoma 

Livin' on a reservation 

Workin' at the service station 

Pumpin' gas and passin' 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 

 

(Chorus) 

Had a good friend like Benjamin
