Songs Title：reuben james[00:00:02]

Reuben James in my song you'll live again[00:00:11]

And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time[00:00:17]

From the time when I knew you Reuben James[00:00:22]

Hey Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name[00:00:26]

Just a no count of colored man who'd steal anything that he can[00:00:34]

And they always laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:39]

Hey Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:00:44]

The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow[00:00:50]

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

Hey Flora Gray well the gossip of Madison County died with the child[00:01:01]

And although your skin was black you were the one who didn't turn your back[00:01:08]

On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James[00:01:14]

Hey Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand[00:01:18]

You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek[00:01:26]

In my head those words remain from Reuben James[00:01:30]

Hey Reuben James you still walk [00:01:36]

The furrowed fields of my mind[00:01:40]

The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow[00:01:43]

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

Oh Reuben James one cold dark day they brought you from the fields[00:01:52]

And that lonely pinebox came just a preacher me and the rain[00:02:00]

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

Oh Reuben James you still walk [00:02:07]

The furrowed fields of my mind[00:02:14]

The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow[00:02:17]

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

Reuben James[00:02:25]
