Sinking Of The Reuben James Lyrics - Johnny Horton

What 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 

Stand 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 

(Now tell me) 

What were their names, tell me what were their names? 

Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James? 

(Now tell me) 

What were their names, tell me what were their names? 

Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?

It wasn't here in the dark of that uncertain night 

That we waited for U-boats and waited for that fight 

Then a whine and a rock and the great explosion roared 

And they laid that Reuben James on the cold ocean floor 

(Now tell me) 

What were their names, tell me what were their names? 

Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James? 

Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright 

On the farms and the cities they're tellin' of that fight 

And now our mighty battle ships will sail the bounding main 

And remember the name of that Good Reuben James
