The Sinking Of The Ruben James - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]

Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James[00:00:20]

Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame [00:00:26]

She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free[00:00:32]

But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea [00:00:36]

Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names [00:00:42]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James [00:00:47]

What were their names tell me what were their names [00:00:51]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:00:56]

Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave[00:01:01]

When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved [00:01:07]

'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four[00:01:12]

From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore [00:01:17]

Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names [00:01:23]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James [00:01:28]

What were their names tell me what were their names [00:01:32]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:37]

It was there in the dark of that uncertain night[00:01:42]

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 [00:01:58]

Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names [00:02:03]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James [00:02:08]

What were their names tell me what were their names [00:02:13]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:17]

Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright[00:02:24]

In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight [00:02:30]

And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main[00:02:35]

And remember the name of that good Reuben James [00:02:40]

Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names [00:02:45]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James [00:02:50]

What were their names tell me what were their names [00:02:55]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:59]
