lyrics

Big Bad Ben
Up a dirty road
and past the dirty side of town
is where she burned the body
of Bad Ben down

Well just a little past one
with a double-action gun
Bad Ben picked the townsfolk off
one by one

He had fire on his mind
and looked himself dead in the eye
and said “my my, I’d say
its prime killing time”

He’d had a handle of Jack Daniels
Burnt out both ends of his candle
Nothing but black in the back of his mind

He was the devils red right hand
shirtless in denim pants
some said that ten feet tall
was where Ben would stand
Some said that ten feet tall
was where Ben would stand

Up a dirty road
and past the dirty side of town
is where she burned the body
of Bad Ben down X2

Well Bad Ben went to bed
after everyone was dead
at least thats what he thought
when he put down his head

but then came a rebel yell
like a prisoner from a cell
coming toward with the mighty wrath
of hell
a pitchfork and torch in arm
a little girl from a nearby farm
came forth with tremendous force
to bring Ben harm

now careful not to make a sound
she tied old Bad Ben down
and burnt his sorry ass to the ground

Up a dirty road
and past the dirty side of town
is where she burned the body
of Bad Ben down
