Текст песни The Sinking of the Reuben James - 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
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.
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.
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.
