The Sinking Of The Reuben James - Cisco Houston[00:00:00]
Have you heard of a ship called the good reuben james[00:00:06]
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame[00:00:11]
She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free[00:00:17]
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea[00:00:21]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:00:26]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:00:31]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:00:35]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:00:39]
Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave[00:00:45]
When that good ship went down only forty four were saved[00:00:50]
'Twas the last day of october we saved the forty four[00:00:55]
From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore[00:01:00]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:05]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:01:09]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:13]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:01:17]
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night[00:01:43]
That we watched for the u boats and waited for a fight[00:01:48]
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared[00:01:53]
And they laid the reuben james on that cold ocean floor[00:01:57]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:02]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:02:06]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:10]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:02:15]
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright[00:02:20]
In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight[00:02:25]
And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main[00:02:30]
And remember the name of that good reuben james[00:02:34]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:39]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:02:43]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:47]
Did you have a friend on the good reuben james[00:02:51]
