《The Sinking Of The Reuben James》歌词

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

[00:00:09] Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James

[00:00:14] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:20] She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:23] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

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

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

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

[00:00:40] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:45] It was there in the dark of that uncertain night

[00:00:50] That we watched for the U boats and waited for a fight

[00:00:55] Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared

[00:00:59] And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor

[00:01:05] 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

[00:01:16] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:22] One hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:01:26] When that good ship went down only forty four were saved

[00:01:31] 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty four

[00:01:35] From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore

[00:01:41] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:44] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:49] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:01:52] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:57] Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright

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

[00:02:07] And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main

[00:02:11] And remember the name of that good Reuben James

[00:02:16] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:20] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:25] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:28] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
