Sinking Of The Reuben James - Woody Guthrie/Burl Ives
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

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

From the cold ocean waters
And the cold icy shore

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
