  • 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
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
    What were their names, tell me, what were their names?
    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
    Was the last day of October we saved the forty-four
    From the cold ocean waters and cold icy shore
    Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
    What were their names, tell me, what were their names?
    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
    Laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor
    Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
    What were their names, tell me, what were their names?
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
    And tonight there are lights in our country so bright
    In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight
    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
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
    What were their names, tell me, what were their names?
    You have a friend on the good Reuben James?
