Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - The Global HitMakers[00:00:00]

(Karaoke Lead Vocal Version)[00:00:04]

Reuben James[00:00:05]

In my song you live again[00:00:08]

And the phrase that I rhyme[00:00:11]

Are just a footstep out of time[00:00:14]

From the time when I knew you[00:00:16]

Reuben James[00:00:18]

Reuben James all the folks around Hadison County[00:00:20]

Cussed your name[00:00:25]

You're just a no-count sharecropping colored man[00:00:28]

You'd steal anything you can[00:00:30]

And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:33]

Reuben James for you still walk[00:00:37]

Over fields of my mind[00:00:41]

Faded shirt weathered brow[00:00:44]

Colored hands upon the plow[00:00:46]

Loved you then and I love you now[00:00:49]

Reuben James[00:00:51]

For a grave[00:00:54]

The gossiper of Hadison County died with chide[00:00:57]

Although your skin was black[00:01:01]

You were the one that didn't turn your back[00:01:03]

On the hungry white child with no name[00:01:05]

Reuben James Reuben James[00:01:08]

With your mind on the soul[00:01:13]

And a bottle in your right hand[00:01:14]

You said turn the other cheek[00:01:17]

For there's a better world awaiting for the meek[00:01:19]

In my mind these words remain from Reuben James[00:01:22]

Reuben James for you still walk[00:01:27]

Over fields of my mind[00:01:30]

Faded shirt weathered brow[00:01:34]

Colored hands upon the plow[00:01:36]

Loved you then and I love you now[00:01:38]

Reuben James[00:01:41]

Reuben James one dark cloudy day[00:01:43]

They brought you from the field[00:01:47]

And to your lonely crambox[00:01:50]

Came just a preacher[00:01:52]

Me and the rain[00:01:54]

Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James[00:01:55]

Reuben James for you still walk[00:02:00]

Over fields of my mind[00:02:03]

Faded shirt weathered brow[00:02:07]

Colored hands upon the plow[00:02:09]

Loved you then and I love you now[00:02:11]

Reuben James[00:02:14]

Reuben James for you still walk[00:02:16]

Over fields of my mind[00:02:20]

Faded shirt weathered brow[00:02:24]

Colored hands upon the plow[00:02:26]

Loved you then and I love you now[00:02:28]

Reuben James[00:02:30]
