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
Honey I'll 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 her things, she left her wedding ring
He's holding his head in his hands

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
