Sinking of Reuben James - 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[00:00:15]

But 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[00:00:46]

In that dark watery grave[00:00:48]

When that good ship went down[00:00:52]

Only forty-four were saved[00:00:55]

Was the last day of October[00:00:59]

We saved the forty-four[00:01:01]

From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore[00:01:04]

It was there in the dark of[00:01:10]

That uncertain night[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[00:01:34]

That uncertain night[00:01:36]

That we watched for the U-boats[00:01:39]

And waited for a fight[00:01:42]

Then a whine and a rock[00:01:45]

And a great explosion roared[00:01:47]

And they laid the Reuben James[00:01:49]

On that cold ocean floor[00:01:51]

And what were their names tell me[00:01:55]

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[00:02:16]

In our country so bright[00:02:18]

In the farms and in the cities[00:02:21]

They're telling of the fight[00:02:24]

And now our mighty battleships[00:02:27]

Will steam the bounding main[00:02:29]

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

What were their names tell me[00:02:37]

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[00:02:48]

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