What Are The Lyrics For Reuben James By The Kingston Trio?
Have you heard of the ship
Called the good Reuben James? Run by hard fighting men Both of honor and of 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 Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? One hundred men went down To their dark and watery graves When that good ship went down, Only forty-four were saved 'Twas the last day of October They saved forty-four From the dark, icy water Of that cold Iceland shore Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? Oh, tell me, 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 cold and watery night They watched for the you-boats And they waited for a fight Then a whine and a rock And a great explosion's roar They lay the Reuben James On that cold ocean floor Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? Many years have passed Since those brave men are gone Those cold, icy waters, They're still and they're calm Many years have passed And still I wonder why The worst of men must fight And the best of men must die! Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? Oh, tell me, what were their names, Tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? |
