The longest time that I ever seen
It was in a [F]

And the only man [Eb] that I ever loved

Say you're Ruben, Ruben
[Fm] Where have you [Bb] been so long?
Say you're Ruben, Ruben
Where [Fm] have you been [Bb] so long?
Where'd you get that hat you wear?
And they call you God's soldier
Well, I got my hair from a railroad man
And I come from [F] work on a [Bb] tender
Say you're Ruben, Ruben
Where [Fm] have you been [Bb] so long?
Say you're Ruben, Ruben
Where have [Fm] you been [Bb] so long?

The river might drain you, put it on the track
Run it [F] to the Lord [Bb] knows where
