Ben Johnson`s Creek Lyrics

Ben Johnson`s Creek lyrics

Mark Olson 

     

CHORUS: 

Nobody told us we should steer clear 

There's mud on our feet and the grass 

It tastes like turpentine 

Down at Ben Johnson's Creek 

There's a broken pipeline that spills into the water 

We go out walking one day 

And a couple of mean old boys come up to us and say 

Ben Johnson's now public domain 

We tried to pay him off but all he wanted was to stay 



REPEAT CHORUS 



We like Ben Johnson's place 

There's white table grapes and his mother planted these 

Now all these willows will go 

Ben Johnson held out as long as a body can hold 



REPEAT CHORUS 



Down at Ben Johnson's Creek 

There's a broken pipeline that spills into the water
