Sinking of the Rueben James - Woody Guthrie/Cisco Houston[00:00:00]

Have you heard of a ship[00:00:02]

Called the good Reuben James[00:00:04]

Manned by hard fighting[00:00:08]

Men both of honor and fame [00:00:10]

She flew the Stars and Stripes[00:00:15]

Of the land of the free[00:00:17]

But tonight she's in her[00:00:20]

Grave at the bottom of the sea[00:00:21]

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

Tell me what were their names[00:00:27]

Did you have a friend on[00:00:30]

The good Reuben James[00:00:32]

What were their names tell me[00:00:34]

What were their names[00:00:36]

Did you have a friend[00:00:38]

On the good Reuben James[00:00:40]

Well a hundred men went[00:00:45]

Down in that dark watery grave[00:00:47]

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

Down only forty-four were saved[00:00:53]

That was the last day of October[00:00:58]

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

From the cold ocean waters[00:01:03]

And the cold icy shore[00:01:06]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:09]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:11]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:13]

What were their names tell me[00:01:18]

What were their names[00:01:20]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:22]

It was there in the dark of[00:01:33]

That uncertain night[00:01:36]

That we watched for the U-boats[00:01:38]

And waited for a fight[00:01:41]

Then a whine and a rock and[00:01:44]

A great explosion roared[00:01:46]

And they laid the Reuben James[00:01:48]

On that cold ocean floor[00:01:50]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:53]

Tell me what were their names[00:01:56]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:58]

What were their names tell me[00:02:04]

What were their names [00:02:06]

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

Now tonight there are lights[00:02:15]

In our country so bright[00:02:17]

In the farms and in the cities[00:02:20]

They're telling of the fight[00:02:22]

Now our mighty battleships[00:02:26]

Will steam the bounding main[00:02:28]

And remember the name of[00:02:29]

That good Reuben James[00:02:32]

Tell me what were their names[00:02:36]

Tell me what were their names[00:02:38]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:40]

What were their names tell me[00:02:45]

What were their names [00:02:47]

Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:49]
