Текст песни Benjamin - Manu Lafer

Benjamin rode out of Montana
On a Palomino pony
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 calling it seaweed 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 telling you life could be fun for anyone
Who had a good friend like Benjamin
Had a good friend like Benjamin

Oh me and Ben thumbed a ride to Alabama
Spent the summer picking cotton
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'falling
Hearing the bob white calling
As though he'd known 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 telling you life could be fun for anyone
Who had a good friend like Benjamin
Had a good friend like Benjamin

Ben and me spent some time in Oklahoma
Living on a reservation
Working at the service station
Pumping gas and passing time

We caught a train down to Harlan county
Thinking we were awful lucky
Just to walk along a Kentucky backroad
Without no reason or rhyme

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 telling you life could be fun for anyone
Who had a good friend like Benjamin
Had a good friend like Benjamin
Had a good friend like Benjamin
