Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Done Again (又一次乐队)[00:00:00]

Reuben James in my song you'll live again[00:00:04]

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 Reuben James[00:00:15]

Reuben James all the folks[00:00:19]

Around Madison County cussed your name[00:00:22]

You're just a no-account sharecropping colored man[00:00:27]

Who'd steal anything he can[00:00:29]

And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:31]

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

The furrowed fields of my mind[00:00:39]

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

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

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:00:47]

Flora Grey the gossip of Madison County died with child[00:00:52]

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

You were the one that didn't turn your back[00:01:02]

On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James[00:01:04]

Reuben James with your mind on my soul[00:01:09]

And a Bible in your right hand you[00:01:13]

Said "Turn the other cheek[00:01:16]

For there's a better world awaiting for the meek"[00:01:18]

In my mind these words remain from Reuben James[00:01:21]

Reuben James you still walk[00:01:25]

The furrowed fields of my mind[00:01:29]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:01:32]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:01:35]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:01:37]

Reuben James one dark cloudy day[00:01:42]

They brought you from the field[00:01:46]

Until your lonely pine box came[00:01:49]

Just a preacher and me in the rain[00:01:51]

Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James[00:01:54]

Reuben James you still walk[00:01:58]

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

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:02:06]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:02:08]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:02:10]

Reuben James you still walk[00:02:15]

The furrowed fields of my mind[00:02:18]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:02:22]

The calloused hands upon the plow[00:02:24]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:02:26]
