Have you heard of a ship called that good Reuben James
5 -5 6 -6 6 5 -5 5 -4 5 -4 4
Manned by hard fighting men both of honor and fame
6 8 8 8 -8 7 6 6 -6 7 -6 6
She flew the Stars and Stripes for this land of the free
5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 5 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
6 6 8 8 -8 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 7
Tell me what were their names tell me what were their names
-7 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 -6 7 7 -6 6
Did you have a friend on that good Reuben James
8 8 -8 7 7 -7 -6 -6 -6 7
What were their names tell me what were their names
