The Sinking of the Reuben James (Live) - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
Written by:Almanac Singers/Woody Guthrie[00:00:21]
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James[00:00:42]
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame[00:00:48]
She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free[00:00:53]
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea[00:00:58]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:03]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:08]
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[00:01:24]
That we watched for the U-boats and waited for a fight[00:01:29]
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared[00:01:35]
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor[00:01:39]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:45]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:50]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:54]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:59]
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright[00:02:06]
In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight[00:02:12]
And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main[00:02:18]
And remember the name of that good Reuben James[00:02:22]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:28]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:33]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:38]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:42]
