Tell me what were their names. Tell me what were their names.
Did you have a friend on the good Rueben James?
Tell me what were their names. Tell me what were their names.
Did you have a friend on the good Rueben James?

And those cold, icey waters are still and they're calm.
Many years have passed, but still I wonder why

The worst of men must fight, and the best of men must die.
