Old Reuben lyrics

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 and trunk
And go and get your baby outta jail

Well if you just say so
On your 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 holdin' 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 and trunk
And go and get your baby outta jail
