Henry's Songbook

1. There's an old man in the park, sometimes sits till after dark
   Old men often don't say much, Rubenstein is just one such
   But if you sit with him awhile he will talk and sometimes smile
   Rubenstein remembers long ago Septembers, long ago

2.  They say he came from Germany, a poor hard-working family
   Jewish tailors don't get rich but they sew a close close stitch
   He wanted to be left alone, raise a family, build a home
   He didn't want to stand in line, a yellow star his David sign
    orig. 2nd verse ?

3. Rubenstein remembers but he will not say
   Where he was or what he did all those years he went away
   Rubenstein remembers but his voice is still
   He pulls his coat around him as he feels a sudden chill
   And walks away

(as sung by Allan Taylor)

I'd like to inform you of the correct words to "Rubenstein Remembers" as written by Ewen Carruthers. If you get a chance to ever hear Ewen sing this, you will know that this is the definitive version.

2nd verse:
He was born in Germany, poor but loving family
Jewish tailors don't get rich but they sew a close, close stitch
Married 1929, wife two children doing fine
Until 1939, took them down that railway line.
