0 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 sea.

Chorus:
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 that we saved the forty-four
From the cold ocean waters ofd that cold Iceland's shore.

Chorus

It was there in the dark of that uncertain night
That we watched for the U-boats and waited for the fight.
Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared
And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.

Chorus

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 battleshipsl steam the bounding main
And remember the name of our good Reuben James.

Chorus
