Old Rueben Songtext
von Uncle Sinner

I told Reuben, lord I told Reuben
I told Reuben lord you must have been drunk
Well you must have been drunk
To pawn your watch & trunk
& go and get your baby out of jail

Well if you just say so, honey
I′ll railroad no more
I'll bury my burdens and go home


I told Reuben, lord I told Reuben
I told Reuben that his baby was gone
She packed up her things
She left her wedding ring
He′s holding his head in his hand

I told Reuben, lord I told Reuben
I told Reuben lord you must have been drunk
Well you must have been drunk
To pawn your watch & trunk
& go and get your baby out of jail
