Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James[00:00:02]

Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame[00:00:08]

She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free[00:00:16]

But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea[00:00:20]

Tell me what were their names[00:00:25]

Tell me what were their names[00:00:28]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:00:30]

What were their names tell me[00:00:35]

What were their names[00:00:37]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:00:39]

Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave[00:00:46]

When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved [00:00:52]

'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four[00:00:59]

From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore[00:01:05]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:10]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:12]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:14]

What were their names tell me[00:01:19]

What were their names[00:01:21]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:23]

It was there in the dark of that uncertain night[00:01:34]

That we watched for the U-boats and waited for a fight[00:01:40]

Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared[00:01:45]

And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor[00:01:50]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:55]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:57]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:59]

What were their names tell me[00:02:05]

What were their names[00:02:07]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:09]

Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright[00:02:16]

In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight[00:02:22]

And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main[00:02:27]

And remember the name of that good Reuben James[00:02:31]

Tell me what were their names[00:02:37]

Tell me what were their names[00:02:40]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:42]

What were their names tell me[00:02:46]

What were their names[00:02:49]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:51]
