Reuben And Rachel - Various Artists

Reuben Reuben I've 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 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 Rueben stop your teasing

If you've any love for me

I was only just a-fooling

As I thought 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
