《Sinking of the Rueben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Sinking of the Rueben James - Woody Guthrie/Cisco Houston

[00:00:02] Have you heard of a ship

[00:00:04] Called the good Reuben James

[00:00:08] Manned by hard fighting

[00:00:10] Men both of honor and fame

[00:00:15] She flew the Stars and Stripes

[00:00:17] Of the land of the free

[00:00:20] But tonight she's in her

[00:00:21] Grave at the bottom of the sea

[00:00:25] Tell me what were their names

[00:00:27] Tell me what were their names

[00:00:30] Did you have a friend on

[00:00:32] The good Reuben James

[00:00:34] What were their names tell me

[00:00:36] What were their names

[00:00:38] Did you have a friend

[00:00:40] On the good Reuben James

[00:00:45] Well a hundred men went

[00:00:47] Down in that dark watery grave

[00:00:52] When that good ship went

[00:00:53] Down only forty-four were saved

[00:00:58] That was the last day of October

[00:01:01] We saved the forty-four

[00:01:03] From the cold ocean waters

[00:01:06] And the cold icy shore

[00:01:09] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:11] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:13] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:18] What were their names tell me

[00:01:20] What were their names

[00:01:22] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:33] It was there in the dark of

[00:01:36] That uncertain night

[00:01:38] That we watched for the U-boats

[00:01:41] And waited for a fight

[00:01:44] Then a whine and a rock and

[00:01:46] A great explosion roared

[00:01:48] And they laid the Reuben James

[00:01:50] On that cold ocean floor

[00:01:53] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:56] Tell me what were their names

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

[00:02:04] What were their names tell me

[00:02:06] What were their names

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

[00:02:15] Now tonight there are lights

[00:02:17] In our country so bright

[00:02:20] In the farms and in the cities

[00:02:22] They're telling of the fight

[00:02:26] Now our mighty battleships

[00:02:28] Will steam the bounding main

[00:02:29] And remember the name of

[00:02:32] That good Reuben James

[00:02:36] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:38] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:40] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:45] What were their names tell me

[00:02:47] What were their names

[00:02:49] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
