The Sinking of the Reuben James - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)/The Weavers[00:00:00]
Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James[00:00:19]
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame[00:00:25]
She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free[00:00:31]
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[00:01:06]
'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[00:01:22]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:27]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:01:32]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:01:36]
It was there in the dark of that uncertain night[00:01:41]
That we watched for the u boats and waited for a fight[00:01:47]
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[00:02:03]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:07]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:12]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:16]
Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright[00:02:23]
In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight[00:02:29]
And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main[00:02:34]
And remember the name of that good Reuben James[00:02:39]
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:44]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:49]
What were their names tell me what were their names[00:02:54]
Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James[00:02:58]
