Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking What a grand world this would be If the men were all transported Far beyond the Northem Sea Oh, my goodness gracious Rachel What a strange world this would be If the men were all transported Far beyond the Northem Sea Reuben,Reuben, I've been thinking What a great life girls would lead If they had no men about them None to tease them,none to heed Rachel,Rachel, I've been thinking Men would have a merry time If at once they were transported Far beyond the salty brine Reuben, Reuben, stop your teasing If you've any love for me I was only just a-fooling As I though,of course,you'd see Rachel, if you'll not transport me I will take you for my wife And I'll split with you my money Every payday of my life
