Hubbardville Store is a tale as old as time about injustice, and a young man’s revenge. In America from early in the 20th century local general stores and company stores had ungodly amounts of power and were often corrupt and exploitive. These stores often gave out large lines of credit and sold products 10x over retail. This ensured the family would never be able to pay the debt. Hubbardville ain’t a real town, but I’m sure this story took place in every state in the Southeast at some point.
This story is particularly personal for me because my one side of my family lived in Brilliant, AL and was beholden to the coal mine company store and the other side ran a general store in Muhlenberg County, KY. The rich history of the stores and their power shaped the lineage of my family and influenced the people who raised me.
This tune was originally written by Larry Murray but the version I fell in love with is from Jim Ringer. Jim Ringer is an obscure singer from the 70’s folk era. He has been a huge inspiration on my life and is easily in my top 20 of influences. Go give him a listen. -Benjamin Tod

Lyrics:
Well, it looked like rain when we laid Papa down
But he sure looked good in that suit of brown
From The Hubbardville Store
A small gray stone and a box of pine and
Two red roses tied with twine
From The Hubbardville Store
Dust to dust who could ask for more
It stood like a ghost on the paved highway
They'd come in their cars and tell us to pay
The Hubbardville Store
I was just a kid and I couldn't plow ground
And Mama would cry when the man came around
From The Hubbardville Store
Look yonder Mama, here come hard times
Well, Mama was weak but her pride was strong
She said we'd pay before too long
The Hubbardville Store
But Mama knew better I could see it in her eyes
Cause if money was meat we couldn't draw flies
From The Hubbardville Store
Look out Mama, here comes the man
They took our house and they took our land
They took everything but the clothes in our hands
The Hubbardville Store
And I swore to God I'd do 'em all in
But Mama cried Son, don't you turn to sin
For that Hubbardville Store
Look out now, you hold on, boy
Well, I felt like a man on that moonless night
With a steady hand and one match
To light The Hubbardville Store
And the people came a-running from miles around
They hid their smiles while it burned to the ground
The Hubbardville Store
Well, come on down who could ask for more
Well, they gave me ten years but they ain't built it back
Cause I burnt everything right down to the sacks
At The Hubbardville Store
Dust to dust who could ask for more
The sky's on fire from The Hubbardville Store
Look yonder Mama, could you ask for more

Benjamin Todd and crew representing outlaw country for the 21st century
And I'm here for it
Diddo!
So freakin good!
Definitely setting the pace for Outlaw Country of today! BaDaSs band for sure.
Yesssss! Makes me want to watch a good western
Wow! That's a very different sound from Ben. And that's not a bad thing at all. I like it!
Benjamin Todd entering his villian era and dropping a murder ballad is the The best thing that could have happened to me on this random Tuesday!
Come a long ways since the BNSF Great Northern Line🙌
It's an old standard, and he did mention on Instagram that a honkytonk album and an old standards album were in the works to come out after the latest Lost Dog drops. I expect we will be hearing more stuff like this
Diggin' this. Lost Dog Street Band blowin' up for real.
Hard to believe from spit shine to this. Couldn't be happier
Tha k God they've kept their roots and didn't go in search of wealth
The only artist I hit the like button for before I even watch the video and hear the song. We already know it’s gonna be 🔥.
Benjamin Tod and the Lost dog crew is finally getting the recognition they deserve. I truly feel like Ben is one of the best song writers and cover singers of this generation. I am looking forward to everything coming from this man!
ughh these southern songs call to my northern soul. ♡
So well stated. Couldn't agree more.
This is album is so f****n strong can’t wait for it to drop
Thanks again Tod family! 10 years and going thank you!
This album will go to the top! Love the music, the show and the band members. This Lost Dog is hunting and will be one heck of a beast to reckon with in 2024.
Finally getting the production quality you deserve Ben. Really rootin' for y'all, your music is so incredible. You deserve every ounce of success. Hope to see y'all live again soon!
Let gooo ben let's gooo
Yeah
I’m to broke to see them live but this as close as it done get 💯
I was thinking the same thing
The way he said “I swore to god I’ll do em all in” but momma cried “son, don’t turn to sin” 😮💨
Amen, for the mothers that check sin.
his writing is top notch
His writing is amazing, but this is a cover.
I knew this was going to be good! I was right 😁! ✝️❤️✌️🇺🇸
will be anticipating this album to everyone i know.
That doesn't make sense
lol wat?
Calm down hes anticipating
@@dakotafigel356 to everyone he knows tho
😂😂😂😅
One of the best voices to ever exist in human history. Period.
Pretty bold statement 😉♥️
Goin to see you guys in Detroit in a couple days. Can't wait
This and a new Charley Crocket record in the same month!? Let’s go!
Don't we get a new Charley album every month? 😂
Only influenced millennials yell out "let's go".
Damn, it's so tough to find country that hearkens back to the greats of the '70s and the '80s. Reminds me of Steve Earle, Merle Haggard, etc. So good.
Great song and killer video.
Thanks, y'all 🙏🏻🤍
A good way to wake up with some new Lost Dog!
Im stoked this band is finally getting recognition but its ashame that the more traditional country sound is what did that, their folk stuff is absolutely amazing.
Another fantastic song/video. The evolution of LDSB has been a joy to experience, I can't wait for this album.
It sure looks like the video budget has increased 🤣
I'm happy you guys are picking up steam and finally getting the popularity that you deserve. Keep up the good work!
That was my first thought too, I just hope they stay humble and sing for the people who have supported them for years
Hell of a song and Musician. I would bet that Benjamin is one of the best storytellers of the newer generation of country music to be honest!
I don't know if I'm the only fan from Romania, but I'm sure ass hell I'm the biggest !
to the man who saved my life, keep going and making what you love. we love it too
An artist that is unconventiional yet authentic. Great video with superb perspectives. Great song as well. cheers.
A true tactician in the ways of pickin and grinnin.
Your best work to DATE! This is insanely bad ass.
The man delivers time and time again great songs on which your soul needs healin' on.
Keep on coming
A beautiful outlaw country ballad with that sweet southern gothic tone
Watching you guys forever...busking, etc. you guys are the real deal!!!! Much success to this kind of Awesome music...the real deal!!!
Music with a deep meaning again. 🙏🏼
Thank you Sir for another amazing song❤ we just saw them live in Rochester NY on the 24th. Absolutely beautiful! I recently lost my father and your music helps the hurt.

I love this band. The violin is my favorite. She knows her stuff.
I own every song I can get my hands on from them. Lost dog street band and Benjamin Tod helped me threw my darkest times.
Another great song from this album.
been listening for years and benjamin keeps getting better!
this song tugs at your heart strings what a amazing singer you are BENJAMIN ARE YOU EVER COMING OVER TO LONDON THEY WOULD LOVE YOU HERE GOD BLESS YOU MAN
The Mansville store and the Raywick store did the same from what I'm told. Hell, Green County screws ya bad enough on just water, Greensburg might as well be a general store all on its own Haha
Will see you in Charleston, second time. Can’t wait!
That's the man!! I've been watching him for a long time now. I love his outlaw music. Keep it going Benny-Boy
Love this band. Thank you for staying the course and not changing
I love everything Ben has ever done .he the best singer an pucker IV ever heard his music is from the heart .

Whoops wee you're good looking cleaned up an unlike most artists who get sober you're music has gotten better like I said 5 years ago best duo in country and western an for sure top 5 best song writer in all of music an definitely the best I his generation master class in country an got me back into country and blue grass

I feel like a blonde white girl when Taylor swift realeasss a new album
Man fucking well said, so do I 🤣🤣👌
This album, will be peak Benjamin Tod. Been here since before lost dog. Nobody has ever made busking “main stream” until they did. 4 years from now this will be a “new” genre. Thank you Mr. Tod
Y’all can do no wrong !!!
Every song is just right on !!!!
Love it. GREAT video. Cannot wait to hear/see what comes next.
So glad that you recognized that you have more LDSB in you. You were right, these are Lost Dog songs. The time and effort you all have put into this album is evident, and you've done it your way!
I dunno, this man's songs helped me through hard hard times, but there's just something here that doesn't have the same soul, sound, and flow. Might just be me, but I just don't hear it in their newer stuff.
Dam they boosted the quality of the recordings and music videos so much ❤️ nice to see the world's giving back to your skills
It make me think of Steve Earle a bit. Come to Sweden! ❤
Love the new videos, better sound and production quality. Still gritty and raw thanks for the music Benjamin.
Looking forward to seeing them in D.C. next month
Same. Been waiting since they canceled last time. This band changed my life.
Just saw them perform live for the first time on Saturday. It was absolutely amazing. The vibes and the music spoke straight to my soul.
I just don't quite think you get it like Benjamin Tod gets it.....country music treasure this day in age! My hats off....
Love a good story.
Wow, these guys don’t miss!! Can’t wait to see them in Detroit
There is not enough company store songs in existence and this is by far the greatest. From wooden nickels to fiat, the wisdom & righteous indignation generations of our people have felt based off how these people operated to take advantage of & suck us dry which have only expanded their operations into the major corporations which hoard over us all today. This masterpiece is priceless for an ol’ hillbilly like me. Standing ovation Ben, you’ve been in my speakers for many years, but this one 🔥
!WOOHOO!
Hell yes what an awesome surprise to wake up to! 🤠
Love the country twang to this track;
Looked like rain when they laid Bobba down!!
Ah, he says “papa” there. :)
@@b.w.22 bobba!
He actually says Bobba. Not papa
I asked him myself
@@brianfry1312 - Well, I stand corrected! He’s always had funny pronunciations for words, but I figured they were just improvisations on the lyric made in the moment. I’ve definitely not heard “bobba” before, well not exactly, and I live in West Virginia! Must be a Kentucky thing.
I love Ben Todds music and what a hell of a story song keep pushing them out guys
I love this song so much! means the world to me!
Can't wait to see yall live in Ohio!
Love it.
Another great video. Thanks for making music like this.
The man, the myth, the legend.
Health and prosperity to you and yours.
Very handsome 🖤🤠🐎🎶
❤️ to Ashley and her violin 🐎🙏🎻
one listen and instant new fave! love & respect all the way from sweden.
Hell yeah. I'm loving this song. Can't wait to see you guys again in Asheville on May 10th.
