Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Pickin' On Series[00:00:00]

Reuben James [00:00:04]

In my song you live again [00:00:06]

And the phrases that I rhyme[00:00:10]

Are just the footsteps out of time[00:00:12]

From the time when I knew you [00:00:14]

Reuben James [00:00:16]

Reuben James [00:00:18]

All the folks around Madison County[00:00:20]

Cussed your name [00:00:22]

Just a no count share croppin' colored man[00:00:25]

Who would steal anything he can [00:00:27]

And everybody laid the blame[00:00:29]

On Reuben James [00:00:31]

Reuben James [00:00:33]

You still walk[00:00:35]

The furrowed fields of my mind [00:00:36]

The faded shirt [00:00:40]

The weathered brow[00:00:41]

The calloused hands[00:00:42]

Upon the plough[00:00:43]

I loved you then[00:00:44]

And I love you now Reuben James [00:00:45]

Flora Gray the gossip[00:00:48]

Of Madison County died with child[00:00:51]

And although your skin was black [00:00:55]

You were the one[00:00:57]

That didn't turn your back[00:00:58]

On the hungry white child with no name [00:00:59]

Reuben James [00:01:01]

Reuben James with your mind on my soul[00:01:04]

And the bible in your right hand [00:01:07]

You said turn the other cheek [00:01:10]

There's a better world[00:01:13]

Awaiting for the meek[00:01:13]

In my mind these words[00:01:15]

Remain from Reuben James[00:01:16]

Reuben James [00:01:19]

You still walk the furrowed[00:01:21]

Fields of my mind[00:01:23]

The faded shirt [00:01:26]

The weathered brow[00:01:26]

The calloused hands[00:01:27]

Upon the plough[00:01:29]

I loved you then[00:01:30]

And I love you now [00:01:31]

Reuben James[00:01:32]

Reuben James [00:01:34]

One dark cloudy day[00:01:37]

That brought you from the fields[00:01:38]

And to your lonely pine box came[00:01:41]

Just a preacher me and the rain[00:01:43]

Just to sing one last refrain[00:01:45]

For Reuben James [00:01:47]

Reuben James [00:01:49]

You still walk the furrowed fields[00:01:52]

Of my mind [00:01:53]

The faded shirt the weathered brow [00:01:56]

The calloused hands upon the plough [00:01:58]

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

Reuben James [00:02:02]

Reuben James [00:02:05]

You still walk the furrowed fields[00:02:07]

Of my mind [00:02:09]

The faded shirt [00:02:11]

The weathered brow[00:02:12]

The calloused hands upon the plough [00:02:13]

I loved you then and I love you now [00:02:15]

Reuben James[00:02:17]
