Reuben James in my song you'll live againAnd the phrases that I rhyme Are just the footsteps out of timeFrom the time when I knew you, Reuben James.Reuben James all the folks Around Madison Caunty cussed your nameJust a no count sharecroppin' colored man Who'd steal anything that he canAnd they always laid the blame on, Reuben James.Reuben James you still walk The furrowed fields of my mindThe faded shirt the wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plowI loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with the childAnd although your skin was black You were the one who didn't turn your backOn a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James.Reuben James with your mind on my soul And Bible in your right handYou said turn the other cheek There's a better world waitin' for the meekLetras de cancionesIn my mind these words remain from, Reuben James.Reuben James you still walk The furrowed fields of my mindThe faded shirt the wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plowI loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James.Reuben James one cold dark day They brought you from the fieldsAnd that lonely pinebox came Just a preacher me and the rainTo sing one last refrain for, Reuben James.Reuben James you still walk The furrowed fields of my mindThe faded shirt the wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plowI loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James From Letras Mania
