The Sinking of the Reuben James - Pete Seeger

作词：Woody Guthrie

作曲：Woody Guthrie

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

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

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

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
