Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)[00:00:00]

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

And the phrases that I rhyme[00:00:12]

Are just footsteps out of time[00:00:15]

From the time when I first knew you Reuben James[00:00:18]

Reuben James all the folks around Madison County[00:00:23]

Cursed your name[00:00:27]

Just a no-account share-croppin' colored man[00:00:30]

Who would steal anything he can[00:00:33]

And they always laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:36]

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:00:41]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:00:49]

The calloused hand upon the plough[00:00:52]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:00:55]

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

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

It was you that didn't turn your back[00:01:10]

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

Reuben James with your mind on my soul[00:01:19]

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

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

A better world is a-waiting for the meek[00:01:29]

In my head those words remain from Reuben James[00:01:32]

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:01:37]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:01:46]

The calloused hand upon the plough[00:01:49]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:01:51]

Reuben James one dark cloudy day[00:01:57]

They brought you from the fields[00:02:01]

And to your lonely pine box came[00:02:04]

Just a preacher me and the rain[00:02:07]

To sing one last refrain for Reuben James[00:02:10]

Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind[00:02:15]

The faded shirt the weathered brow[00:02:24]

The calloused hand upon the plough[00:02:27]

I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:02:30]
