The Story of Benjamin Darling Part 1
State Radio

On a brig loaded with timber headed for the north Maine coastnThey took on some rough seas.nThe captain and his slave fought back the heavy wavesnBut they were threateningnTo break her up so badly.nnSee two days before they left the outer banks,nAnd made good time up to Boston.nBut just north of Essex the sky grew dark.nHe missed his mark he was making and life can change so fast.nnThe captain had seen many a daynWhen the winds blew and the waters raged.nBut it was just a part of the life he made for himself,nRunning the coast of New England.nnThe ship heaved and cracked,nThrew the men on their backs as the water came rushing innThe captain fought hard yet.nHe yelled against the splintering wreck,nI have done you wrong son.nAnd I should be forsaken for what I have done.nnBut Ben reached a timber to stay afloat.nHe grabbed the captain's braided coatnHe swam him to the nearest shore.nDragged him up 'til he couldn't pull no morenAnd he left him breathin', left him breathin' dry.nnThe captain said in all my days I never seen anybody savenThe very person who kept him enslaved.nGod damn it Ben,nYou should have your freedom for what you have done.nnI should be forsaken for what I have done.nnSomewhere off the Maine coast,nAt the mouth of the New Meadows River there's a islandnWhere a marooned man lived out his life quietly under tied and sky.nNever forgetting when the sea rose up so high.nnThe captain said in all my daysnI never seen anybody savenThe very person who kept him enslaved.nGod damn it Ben,nYou should have your freedom for what you have done.
