Reuben Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime You know you had a dozen sons Well now that's not quite true But feel no sorrow, do not grieve He would not want you to RR, RR's Wife, MM There's one more angel in heaven There's one more star in the sky Joseph we'll never forget you It's tough but we're gonna get by There's one less place at our table There's one more tear in my eye Brothers But Joseph the things that you stood for RR Like truth and light never die When I thing of his last great battle A lump comes to my throat It takes a man who knows no fear To wrestle with a goat His blood-stained coat is tribute to His final sacrifice His body may be past its peak But his soul's in paradise So long, little Jo Adios, buckeroo Ten-four, good buddy Jacob There's one less place at our table There's one more tear in my eye Brothers But Joseph the things that you stood for RR Like truth and light never die Brothers Carve his name with pride and courage Napthali Let no tear be shed Brothers If he had not laid down his life We all would now be dead
