Have you heard of the ship called the Good Reuben James?
Armed by hard fighting men, both of honour and of fame
She flew the stars and stripes [E] of the land [B] of the free
But tonight she's in her grave at the bottom of the sea
Tell me what were their names, tell [E] me what were their names
[F#] Did you have a [B] friend on the Good Reuben James?
Tell me what were their names, [E] tell me what [C#m] were their names
Did you have a friend [B] on the Good Reuben James?
One hundred men went [G#] down to their dock [B] watering grief
When that good ship went down [G#] only forty [B]-four were safe
But the last day of October [G#m] they saved [B] forty-four
From the dark icy waters [G#] of that cold [B] ice lake
Tell me what were their names, [E] tell me what were [C#m] their names
Did you have a friend [B] on the Good Reuben James?

It was there in the dark [C#m] on that cold and [B] watery night
That they watched for the U-boat [C#] and they waited for [B] a fight
Then a whine and a rock [E] and a great [B] explosion's roar
And they laid the Reuben James [C#m] on the cold ocean [B] floor
Tell me what were their names, [E] tell me what were [C#m] their names
[C#] Did you have a friend on the Good Reuben James?
Did you have a friend [B] on the Good Reuben James?
Did you want to feel a better day, tell [E] me what were [C#m] their names

_ _ _ _ _ _ Many years have passed [F#] since those brave [B] men are gone
Those cold icy waters, [F#] they're still [B] and they're calm
Many years have passed, [E] but still I [B] wonder why
The worst of men must fight [C#] and the best of men [B] must die
Tell me what were their names, [E] tell me what were [C#m] their names
[C#] Did you have a friend [B] on the Good Reuben James?
Tell me what were their names, [E] tell me what were [C#m] their names

_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] We just recorded an album and _ _ _ _ I could do a song from it now
_ [A#] I'm having a little trouble finding a name for the album
So if you send us a name, [F#m] _ along with a dollar
Of _ _ _ _ _ course those that enter the contest more than once will have a better chance won't they
_ _ The _ _ song is called The Wagoner Lad
_ And it's about a lad with his wagoner
_ _ Tucked neatly beneath the folds of his garment
_ So it don't show, yeah
