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]
