歌词：

Reuben and Reachel Reuben, Reuben, Ive been thinking What a grand world this would be If the men were all transported Far beyond the Northern Sea Oh, my goodness gracious Rachel What a strange world this would be If the men were all transported Far beyond the Northern Sea Reuben, Reuben, Ive 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, Ive been thinking Men would have a merry time If at once they were transported Far beyond the salty brine Reuben, Rueben, stop your teasing If youve any love for me I was only just a-fooling As I thought, of course, youll see Rachel, if youll not transport me I will take you for my wife And Ill split with you my money Every payday of my life
