The Sinking of the Reuben James - Pete Seeger
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

One hundred men were drown
In that dark watery grave

When that good ship went down
Only forty-four were saved

'Twas the last day of October
We saved the forty-four

From the cold icy 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
