The Sinking of the Reuben James - The Almanac Singers/Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
Have you heard of a ship[00:00:20]
Called the good Reuben James[00:00:22]
Manned by hard fighting men[00:00:25]
Both of honor and fame [00:00:28]
She flew the Stars[00:00:31]
And Stripes of the land of the free[00:00:33]
But tonight she's in her grave[00:00:36]
At the bottom of the sea[00:00:38]
Tell me what were their names [00:00:42]
Tell me what were their names[00:00:44]
Did you have a friend[00:00:47]
On the good Reuben James [00:00:48]
What were their names tell me [00:00:52]
What were their names [00:00:54]
Did you have a friend[00:00:56]
On the good Reuben James[00:00:58]
Well a hundred men went down[00:01:01]
In that dark watery grave[00:01:03]
When that good ship went down[00:01:06]
Only forty-four were saved[00:01:09]
That was the last day of October[00:01:12]
We saved the forty-four[00:01:15]
From the cold ocean waters[00:01:17]
And the cold icy shore[00:01:19]
Tell me what were their names [00:01:23]
Tell me what were their names[00:01:25]
Did you have a friend[00:01:28]
On the good Reuben James [00:01:29]
What were their names tell me [00:01:32]
What were their names [00:01:34]
Did you have a friend[00:01:37]
On the good Reuben James[00:01:39]
It was there in the dark of[00:01:42]
That uncertain night[00:01:45]
That we watched for the U-boats[00:01:48]
And waited for a fight[00:01:50]
Then a whine and a rock[00:01:53]
And a great explosion roared[00:01:55]
And they laid the Reuben James[00:01:58]
On that cold ocean floor[00:02:00]
Tell me what were their names [00:02:03]
Tell me what were their names[00:02:05]
Did you have a friend[00:02:08]
On the good Reuben James [00:02:10]
What were their names tell me [00:02:13]
What were their names [00:02:15]
Did you have a friend[00:02:17]
On the good Reuben James[00:02:19]
Now tonight there are lights[00:02:23]
In our country so bright[00:02:26]
In the farms and in the cities[00:02:29]
They're telling of the fight[00:02:32]
And now our mighty battleships[00:02:35]
Will steam the bounding main[00:02:38]
And remember the name of[00:02:40]
That good Reuben James[00:02:42]
Tell me what were their names [00:02:45]
Tell me what were their names[00:02:48]
Did you have a friend[00:02:50]
On the good Reuben James [00:02:52]
What were their names tell me [00:02:55]
What were their names [00:02:57]
Did you have a friend[00:02:59]
On the good Reuben James[00:03:01]
