Oh a big broad shouldered fellow was Ben	A
And homely as you would see	B
Such an awkward walker and stammering talker	C
And as bashful as he could be	B
	-
The son of a lone widowed mother was he	B
And right well did he act his part	D
A giant at sowing and reaping and mowing	E
His farm was the pride of his heart	D
	-
His mother depended on his strong arm	F
In the cottage so neat and trim	G
He kept the fires burning did sweeping and churning	E
Oh the odd jobs saved up for him	G
	-
My Ben's a comfort she said every day	H
With pride that made his head whirl	I
As handy at sweeping as he is at reaping	E
Ben is just as good as a girl	I
	-
A six foot fellow to work round the house	J
We'll call him 'Miss Ben ' said the girls	K
But Ben heaven bless him never let this distress him	G
Till there came a day when the curls	K
	-
And blue eyes of Gladys the prettiest girl	I
And the proudest in all the place	L
His young heart set beating at every chance meeting	E
Though she only laughed in his face	L
	-
I'll have none but a gay and a gallant man	M
Her lips took a scornful curl	I
Your pride is in hearing your mother declaring	E
'Ben is just as good as a girl '	-
	-
But sweet little Marjory laughed not at Ben	A
He was homely awkward shy	N
But she liked the fellow whose voice was so mellow	O
And she smiled as she passed him by	N
	-
He went to the front when the war broke out	P
And filled his post like a man	M
The good natured giant was bold and defiant	Q
As soon as the battle began	M
	-
You'd never have thought of the broom and the churn	R
Nor of the nickname Miss Ben	A
Had you heard his voice cheering seen his arm clearing	E
A path for his own gallant men	A
	-
Capt Benjamin Brooks he came riding home	S
When the war was over and done	T
As homely and backward as shy and as awkward	U
As tender and loyal a son	T
	-
Now Gladys gave him her sunniest smile	V
On heroes she ever did dote	W
And the proud little beauty felt it her duty	B
To be kind to this young man of note	W
	-
But Ben wise fellow liked Marjory best	X
He knew her lips did not curl	I
When mother said sweetly Ben does work so neatly	B
He is just as good as a girl	I
	-
So he wooed and won this Marjory true	Y
And made her his loving bride	Z
While Gladys she fretted bemoaned and regretted	A2
The goal she had missed by her pride	Z
	-
To day Ben is filling a prominent place	L
A statesman honest and bold	B2
He frees the opprest and he helps the distrest	B2
Wins love which is better than gold	B2
	-
For the very grandest men you can find	B2
In this great world's busy whirl	I
Are men like my farmer no praise need be warmer	C
Than he's just as good as a girl	I
