Old Reuben - Uncle Sinner

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
