The Sinking Of The Rueben James
Johnny HortonThe Sinking of the Rueben JamesWhat were their names, tell me what were their names?Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?Have you heard of a ship called that good Reuben James?Manned by hard-fighting men both of honor and fameShe flew the Stars and Stripes of the Land of the FreeBut tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea.CHORUSLetras de cancionesWhat were their names, tell me what were their names?Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?Tell me, what were their names, what were their names?Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James?It was there in the dark of that uncertain nightThat we waited for U-boats and waited for that fightThen a whine and a rock and a great explosion roaredAnd they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor.CHORUSNow, tonight there are lights in our country so brightOn the farms and the cities they're tellin' of that fightAnd now our mighty battleships will sail the bounding mainAnd remember the men of the good Reuben James.CHORUS
