The Sinking of the Reuben James - Woody Guthrie.mp3
[00:03.33]Have you heard ...
[00:03.33]Have you heard of a ship called the good
[00:05.55]Reuben James
[00:08.88]Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame?
[00:15.60]She flew the
[00:16.41]Stars and
[00:17.04]Stripes of the land of the free
[00:20.22]But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
[00:25.35]Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names
[00:30.21]Did you have a friend on the good
[00:32.67]Reuben James?
[00:34.50]What were their names, tell me, what were their names?
[00:38.58]Did you have a friend on the good
[00:41.25]Reuben James
[00:45.75]Well, a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave
[00:52.08]When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved
[00:58.65]That was the last day of
[01:00.03]October we saved the forty-four
[01:02.91]From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore
[01:33.63]It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
[01:38.91]That we watched for the
[01:40.50]U-boats and waited for a fight
[01:44.82]Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared
[01:49.02]And they laid the
[01:49.68]Reuben James on that cold ocean floor
[02:15.06]Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright
[02:20.43]In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight
[02:26.13]And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main
[02:29.97]And remember the name of that good
[02:32.01]Reuben James
