Reuben James - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)[00:00:00]

Written by：Barry Jack Etris/Alex Harvey[00:00:01]

Reuben James in my song you live again[00:00:05]

And the phrases that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time[00:00:11]

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

Reuben James all the folks around Hadison County[00:00:21]

Cussed your name[00:00:26]

You're just a no-count sharecropping colored man[00:00:29]

You'd steal anything you can[00:00:32]

And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James[00:00:34]

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind[00:00:39]

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow[00:00:46]

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

For a grave the gossiper of Hadison County died with chid[00:00:57]

Although your skin was black[00:01:05]

You were the one that didn't turn your back[00:01:07]

On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James[00:01:10]

Reuben James with your mind on the soul[00:01:15]

And a bottle in your right hand[00:01:19]

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

For there's a better world awaiting for the meek[00:01:25]

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

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind[00:01:33]

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow[00:01:40]

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:01:45]

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

They brought you from the field[00:01:55]

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

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

Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James[00:02:04]

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind[00:02:09]

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow[00:02:17]

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

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind[00:02:27]

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow[00:02:35]

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James[00:02:40]
