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 on the bottom of the seaTell 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 JamesWell, 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 shoreTell 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 JamesIt was there in the dark of that uncertain night That we watched for the you-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 floorTell 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 JamesNow 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 JamesTell 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
