A Round for Mr. Benny Haven

words and music by Kevin Powell

capo 3rd fret

Verse 1: (G,C,Em,F)

Early one morning,
I met with my father,
He told me what I was to do.

He said go to the city,
and see Benny Haven,
and patch up his old pair of shoes.

De-mand a dollar,
and don't you dare squander,
the pentance for wich you've been paid.

for your mother is sick and,
she can't be out pickin,
the crops that have come in today.

Chorus: (G,C,G,F)
One beer at a time lad,
lord you'll be sick,
if you pick up that drink.

4 shots to the pound
lets have a race,
to finish the case.

5 pints for a man,
shouldn't be thinkin,
just worry 'bout drinking.

Pass the pitcher around lad,
there's no need to worry,
cause Benny's come back into town.

Verse 2:
I rode to the city,
to match the description,
the man of wich I'd been told,

He's short and he's fat,
He wears a green hat,
and carries a cane with a sword,

He hangs out in Kelly's,
right next to the deli,
so he can get something to eat.

3 blocks from his girlfriend,
who looks like a smurf and,
is named sweet molly malone.

Verse 3:
The bartender Nicky,
was talking to micky,
about the events of the day.

He pointed me over,
right back past my shoulder,
strait on to the left of the bar,

the crowd in the corner,
was cheering and laughing,
surrounding the little fat man.

He beconed me over,
asked "what are you havin",
and ordered another round.
