《The Sinking Of The Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sinking Of The Reuben James - The Gateway Singers

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

[00:00:23] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:28] She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:32] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

[00:00:37] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:41] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:44] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:00:48] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:53] It was there in the dark of that uncertain night

[00:00:58] That we watched for the U boats and waited for a fight

[00:01:02] Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared

[00:01:06] And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor

[00:01:12] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:15] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:19] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:23] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:28] One hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:01:32] When that good ship went down only forty four were saved

[00:01:37] 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty four

[00:01:41] From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore

[00:01:47] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:50] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:54] What were their names tell me what were their names

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

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

[00:02:07] On 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

[00:02:16] And remember the name of that good Reuben James

[00:02:22] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:25] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:29] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:33] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
