《The Sinking Of The Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sinking Of The Reuben James - Cisco Houston

[00:00:06] Have you heard of a ship called the good reuben james

[00:00:11] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:17] She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:21] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

[00:00:26] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:31] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:00:35] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:39] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:00:45] Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:00:50] When that good ship went down only forty four were saved

[00:00:55] 'Twas the last day of october we saved the forty four

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

[00:01:05] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:09] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:01:13] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:17] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:01:43] It was there in the dark of that uncertain night

[00:01:48] That we watched for the u boats and waited for a fight

[00:01:53] Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared

[00:01:57] And they laid the reuben james on that cold ocean floor

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

[00:02:06] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:02:10] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:15] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:02:20] Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright

[00:02:25] 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

[00:02:34] And remember the name of that good reuben james

[00:02:39] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:43] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james

[00:02:47] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:51] Did you have a friend on the good reuben james
