Reuben James - Kenny Rogers[00:00:00]

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

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

Are just the footsteps out of time[00:00:13]

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

Ruben James all the folks around Madison County[00:00:21]

Cussed your name just a no[00:00:26]

Count share cropping colored man[00:00:29]

Who would steal anything he can[00:00:31]

And never but laid the blame on Ruben James[00:00:34]

Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind[00:00:39]

The faded skirt the weathered brow[00:00:46]

The calloused hand up on the plow[00:00:49]

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

Flora Gray a gossip of Madison County died with child[00:00:57]

And although your skin was black[00:01:05]

You words wanna did turn your back[00:01:07]

On a hungry white child with no name Ruben James[00:01:10]

Ruben James with your mind on my soul[00:01:15]

And the bible in your right hand[00:01:19]

You said turn the other cheek[00:01:23]

A better better world is a waiting for the meek[00:01:25]

In my mind these words remain from Ruben James[00:01:28]

Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind[00:01:33]

The faded skirt the weathered brow[00:01:40]

The calloused hand up on the plow[00:01:43]

I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James[00:01:45]

Ruben James one dark cloudy day[00:01:51]

That brought you from the fields[00:01:55]

And to your lonely pine box came[00:01:59]

Just a preacher me and the rain[00:02:01]

To sing one last refrain for Ruben James[00:02:04]

Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind[00:02:09]

The faded skirt the weathered brow[00:02:17]

The calloused hand up on the plow[00:02:19]

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

Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind[00:02:27]

The faded skirt the weathered brow[00:02:35]

The calloused hand up on the plow[00:02:37]

I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James[00:02:40]
