Ben In The Pen
Composição de (Stompin' Tom Connors)
verse 1 

C                F 
They call me Ben here in the pen 
C                             G 
Where ya take the guff and ya suffer 
    C                     F 
But I'll be free when I'm 53 
      G                       C             G                       C 
And I bet I'll be a whole lot tougher, I'll bet I'll be a whole lot tougher 

C                      F 
When I was a lad I was really bad 
   C                  G 
It wasn't smart to be good 
C                 F 
I beat up my dog, choked my frog 
  G                       C 
I acted just as mean as I could 

  C                         F 
I hit all the girls and put gum in her curls 
C                                 G 
Cause I liked to hear 'em cry and plea 
    C                       F 
I'd punch a little boys and steal all their toys 
C                                     C 
Cause I knew they wern't smarter than me
