《Sinking of The Reuben Jame》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:02] Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James

[00:00:08] Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame

[00:00:16] She flew the Stars and Stripes of the land of the free

[00:00:20] But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea

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

[00:00:28] Tell me what were their names

[00:00:30] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:35] What were their names tell me

[00:00:37] What were their names

[00:00:39] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:00:46] Well a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave

[00:00:52] When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved

[00:00:59] 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four

[00:01:05] From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore

[00:01:10] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:12] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:14] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:19] What were their names tell me

[00:01:21] What were their names

[00:01:23] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:01:34] It was there in the dark of that uncertain night

[00:01:40] That we watched for the U-boats and waited for a fight

[00:01:45] Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared

[00:01:50] And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor

[00:01:55] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:57] Tell me what were their names

[00:01:59] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:05] What were their names tell me

[00:02:07] What were their names

[00:02:09] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:16] Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright

[00:02:22] In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight

[00:02:27] And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main

[00:02:31] And remember the name of that good Reuben James

[00:02:37] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:40] Tell me what were their names

[00:02:42] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James

[00:02:46] What were their names tell me

[00:02:49] What were their names

[00:02:51] Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James
