《The Sinking of the Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] The Sinking of the Reuben James - The Almanac Singers/Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:20] Have you heard of a ship

[00:00:22] Called the good Reuben James

[00:00:25] Manned by hard fighting men

[00:00:28] Both of honor and fame

[00:00:31] She flew the Stars

[00:00:33] And Stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:36] But tonight she's in her grave

[00:00:38] At the bottom of the sea

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

[00:00:44] Tell me what were their names

[00:00:47] Did you have a friend

[00:00:48] On the good Reuben James

[00:00:52] What were their names tell me

[00:00:54] What were their names

[00:00:56] Did you have a friend

[00:00:58] On the good Reuben James

[00:01:01] Well a hundred men went down

[00:01:03] In that dark watery grave

[00:01:06] When that good ship went down

[00:01:09] Only forty-four were saved

[00:01:12] That was the last day of October

[00:01:15] We saved the forty-four

[00:01:17] From the cold ocean waters

[00:01:19] And the cold icy shore

[00:01:23] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:25] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:28] Did you have a friend

[00:01:29] On the good Reuben James

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

[00:01:34] What were their names

[00:01:37] Did you have a friend

[00:01:39] On the good Reuben James

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

[00:01:45] That uncertain night

[00:01:48] That we watched for the U-boats

[00:01:50] And waited for a fight

[00:01:53] Then a whine and a rock

[00:01:55] And a great explosion roared

[00:01:58] And they laid the Reuben James

[00:02:00] On that cold ocean floor

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

[00:02:05] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:08] Did you have a friend

[00:02:10] On the good Reuben James

[00:02:13] What were their names tell me

[00:02:15] What were their names

[00:02:17] Did you have a friend

[00:02:19] On the good Reuben James

[00:02:23] Now tonight there are lights

[00:02:26] In our country so bright

[00:02:29] In the farms and in the cities

[00:02:32] They're telling of the fight

[00:02:35] And now our mighty battleships

[00:02:38] Will steam the bounding main

[00:02:40] And remember the name of

[00:02:42] That good Reuben James

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

[00:02:48] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:50] Did you have a friend

[00:02:52] On the good Reuben James

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

[00:02:57] What were their names

[00:02:59] Did you have a friend

[00:03:01] On the good Reuben James
