“The Sinking of the Reuben James” is a song by Woody Guthrie about the sinking of the U.S. convoy escort, the ''Reuben James'', which was the first U.S. naval ship sunk by German U-boats in World War II. Woody Guthrie had started to write a song including each name on the casualty list of the sinking. This was later replaced by the chorus “tell me what were their names.” The song is set to the melody of Wildwood Flower, an antebellum tune by Joseph Philbrick Webster. 〔 via the Internet Archive.〕 ==Recordings== * The Almanac Singers on ''Dear Mr. President'' 1942 * Will Geer on ''Bound for Glory'' 1958 * The Weavers on ''At Carnegie Hall, Volume 2'' 1960 * Johnny Horton on ''Johnny Horton Sings History'' 1960 * Oscar Brand on ''Every Inch a Sailor'' 1960 * Kingston Trio on ''Close-Up'' 1961 * The Chad Mitchell Trio on ''Reflecting'' 1963 * Jon & Alun on "Relax Your Mind" 1963 * Cisco Houston on ''Cisco Houston sings the songs of Woody Guthrie'' 1963 * James Talley on ''Woody Guthrie and Songs of My Oklahoma Home'' 1999 * Folk Family Robinson on ''Songs of America'' (2007).
