  • 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
    That was 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
