歌曲歌詞
Have you heard of a ship
Called the good Reuben James
Manned by hard fighting men
Both of honor and fame
She flew the Stars
And Stripes of the land of the free
But tonight she's in her grave
At the bottom of the sea
Tell me what were their names
Tell me what were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
What were their names tell me
What were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
Well a hundred men went down
In that dark watery grave
When that good ship went down
Only forty-four were saved
That was the last day of October
We saved the forty-four
From the cold ocean waters
And the cold icy shore
Tell me what were their names
Tell me what were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
What were their names tell me
What were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
It was there in the dark of
That uncertain night
That we watched for the U-boats
And waited for a fight
Then a whine and a rock
And a great explosion roared
And they laid the Reuben James
On that cold ocean floor
Tell me what were their names
Tell me what were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
What were their names tell me
What were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
Now tonight there are lights
In our country so bright
In the farms and in the cities
They're telling of the fight
And now our mighty battleships
Will steam the bounding main
And remember the name of
That good Reuben James
Tell me what were their names
Tell me what were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
What were their names tell me
What were their names
Did you have a friend
On the good Reuben James
