Ben Johnson's Creek Lyrics

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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e59117-mark_olson~ben_johnsons_creek_lyrics.html ]
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
