《The Sinking Of Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sinking Of Reuben James - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:19] Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James

[00:00:25] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:31] She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:36] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

[00:00:42] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:46] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:51] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:56] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:00] Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:01:06] When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved

[00:01:12] 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four

[00:01:17] From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore

[00:01:22] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:27] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:32] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:36] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:42] It was there in the dark of that uncertain night

[00:01:47] 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

[00:02:03] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

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

[00:02:12] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:17] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:23] Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright

[00:02:29] In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight

[00:02:35] And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main

[00:02:39] And remember the name of that good Reuben James

[00:02:45] Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:50] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:55] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:59] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
