Campy Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've read this thread twice. I give up. Can't understand any of it. Must be a generational thing. Nope - can't be that. Lana doesn't get it either..... 503529[/snapback] 30 years ago a commercial vessel named Edmund Fitzgerald sank while traversing Lake Superior. All hands went down and a folk-hippy wrote a pretty cool song about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Ships, ships and more ships... What about the Reuban James? The Sinking Of The Reuben James Have you heard of a ship called the good Reuben James Manned 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. Tell me what were their names, tell me what were their names, Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James? What were their names, tell me, what were their names? Did you have a friend on the good Reuben James Well, a hundred men went down in that dark watery grave When that good ship went down only forty-four were saved. 'Twas the last day of October we saved the forty-four From the cold ocean waters and the cold icy shore. It was there in the dark of that uncertain night That we watched for the U-boats and waited for a fight. Then a whine and a rock and a great explosion roared And they laid the Reuben James on that cold ocean floor. Now tonight there are lights in our country so bright In the farms and in the cities they're telling of the fight. And now our mighty battleships will steam the bounding main And remember the name of that good Reuben James. Words and Music by Woody Guthrie © 1942 (renewed) by MCA Music Publishing, Inc.
