[00:05.00]Reuben James, in my song you live again [00:12.47]And the phrases that I rhyme [00:15.31]Are just footsteps out of time [00:18.31]From the time when I first knew you Reuben James [00:21.63]. [00:23.25]Reuben James all the folks around Madison County [00:27.50]Cursed your name [00:30.08]Just a no-account share-croppin colored man [00:33.70]Who would steal anything he can [00:36.45]And they always laid the blame on Reuben James [00:39.64]. [00:41.40]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind [00:49.97]The faded shirt, the weathered brow [00:52.70]The calloused hand upon the plough [00:55.53]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James [01:00.36]. [01:01.15]Flora Gray, the gossip of Madison County died with a child [01:08.00]And although your skin was black [01:10.77]It was you that didn t turn your back [01:14.39]On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James [01:17.89]. [01:19.45]Reuben James, with your mind on my soul [01:22.90]And the Bible in your right hand [01:26.91]You said turn the other cheek [01:29.76]A better world is a-waiting for the meek [01:32.66]In my head those words remain from Reuben James [01:36.28]. [01:37.91]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind [01:46.48]The faded shirt, the weathered brow [01:49.20]The calloused hand upon the plough [01:51.96]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James [01:56.85]. [01:57.84]Reuben James one dark cloudy day [02:01.00]They brought you from the fields [02:04.48]And to your lonely pine box came [02:07.67]Just a preacher, me and the rain [02:10.99]To sing one last refrain for Reuben James [02:14.61]. [02:15.86]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind [02:24.61]The faded shirt, the weathered brow [02:27.36]The calloused hand upon the plough [02:30.18]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James [02:35.17].
