Reuben James - Jerry Lee Lewis[00:00:00]

Written by：Alex Harvey/Barry Jack Etris[00:00:01]

Reuben James[00:00:10]

In my song you live again[00:00:12]

And the phrases that I rhyme[00:00:16]

Are just the footsteps out of time[00:00:19]

From the time when I knew you Reuben James[00:00:21]

Hey Reuben James[00:00:26]

All the folks around madison county cussed your name[00:00:28]

Just a no account[00:00:33]

Sharecropping colored man[00:00:35]

Who would steal anything he can[00:00:36]

And it always laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:38]

Hey Reuben James[00:00:43]

For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:00:46]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:00:51]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:00:54]

I loved you then and I love you now[00:00:56]

Reuben James[00:00:58]

Flora Grey[00:01:01]

The gossip of madison county died with child[00:01:03]

And although your skin was black[00:01:08]

You were the one that didn't turn your back[00:01:11]

On the hungry white child with no name[00:01:13]

Reuben James[00:01:16]

Hey Reuben James[00:01:18]

With your mind on my soul[00:01:21]

And a Bible in your right hand[00:01:22]

You said turn the other cheek[00:01:26]

Well there's a better world a waiting for the meek[00:01:28]

In my mind these words remain from Reuben James[00:01:31]

Hey Reuben James[00:01:35]

For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:01:38]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:01:43]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:01:45]

I loved you then and I love you now[00:01:48]

Reuben James[00:01:50]

Oh Reuben James[00:01:53]

One dark cloudy day they brought you from the field[00:01:55]

Until your lonely pine box came[00:02:00]

Just a preacher and me in the rain[00:02:03]

Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James[00:02:05]

Sing it[00:02:09]

Oh Reuben James[00:02:10]

For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:02:12]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:02:17]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:02:20]

I loved you then and I love you now[00:02:22]

Reuben James[00:02:24]

Thank you Jorlin[00:02:25]

Reuben James[00:02:27]

For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:02:29]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:02:34]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:02:36]
