歌詞如下：

Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking
What a grand world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the Northem Sea
Oh, my goodness gracious Rachel
What a strange world this would be
If the men were all transported
Far beyond the Northem 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, Reuben, stop your teasing
If you've any love for me
I was only just a-fooling
As I though,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
