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

[00:00:01] Written by：Woody Guthrie

[00:00:20] Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James

[00:00:26] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:32] She flew the stars and stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:36] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

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

[00:00:47] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

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

[00:00:56] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:01] Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:01:07] When that good ship went down only forty four were saved

[00:01:12] 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty four

[00:01:17] From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore

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

[00:01:28] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

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

[00:01:37] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

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

[00:01:47] That we watched for the u boats and waited for a fight

[00:01:53] Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared

[00:01:57] And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor

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

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

[00:02:12] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:16] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:23] Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright

[00:02:29] In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight

[00:02:35] And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main

[00:02:39] And remember the name of that good Reuben James

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

[00:02:50] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:54] What were their names tell me what were their names

[00:02:59] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
