Lyrics
Guess we caused quite a commotion, then at night we d drink a coca-cola
Hearin the bob white callin, i m tellin you
He loved to travel, selling pacific ocean water
He lost his family in forty-nine, ben and me spent some time in oklahoma Bobbie, livin on a reservation
he d been ever place i d been and back again
we caught a train down to harlan county
selling pacific ocean water
we caught a train down to harlan county
pumpin gas and passin time
Had a good friend like benjamin, spent the summer pickin cotton
now it was so doggone hot
had a good friend like benjamin
He loved to travel, without no reason nor rhyme
Ben and me spent some time in oklahoma, workin at the service station
Thinkin we were awful lucky, had a good friend like benjamin, stories that would make your eyes
life could be fun for anyone
had a good friend like benjamin
Without no reason nor rhyme, and callin it seaweed wine
livin on a reservation
Ben and me spent some time in oklahoma, had a good friend like benjamin Gentry, now it was so doggone hot
we bought us a three-speed electric fan
Pumpin gas and passin time, he d been ever place i d been and back again Bobbie, had a good friend like benjamin
He lost his family in forty-nine, he loved to travel
Had a good friend like benjamin, i m tellin you
Who had a good friend like benjamin, hearin the bob white callin
He lost his family in forty-nine, on a palomino pony, hearin the bob white callin
now it was so doggone hot
without no reason nor rhyme
without no reason nor rhyme
livin on a reservation
he told me he was all alone
Selling pacific ocean water, listen to the rain a fallin Benjamin, he told me he was all alone
We caught a train down to harlan county, thinkin we were awful lucky Benjamin, he d been ever place i d been and back again
me and ben thumbed a ride to alabama
workin at the service station
Life could be fun for anyone, i never had as good a friend as benjamin, who had a good friend like benjamin
guess we caused quite a commotion
who had a good friend like benjamin
Big as blackberry pies, thinkin we were awful lucky Bobbie, stories that would make your eyes
i m tellin you
He loved to travel, we bought us a three-speed electric fan
selling pacific ocean water
