Letra de Reuben James
Reuben James In my song you'll live again And the phrases that I rhyme Are just the footsteps out of time Of the time when I knew you Reuben JamesHey, Reuben James All the folks around Madison County cursed your name Just a no count of colored man Who'd steal anything he can And they always laid the blame on Reuben JamesHey, Reuben James You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind Faded shirt, wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plow I loved you then and I love you now Reuben JamesHey, Flora Gray Well, the gossip of Madison County died with the child And although your skin was black It was you that didn't turn your back On a hungry white child with no name Reuben JamesHey, Reuben James With your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand You said you turn the other cheek There's a better world waitin' for the meek In my head those words remain Reuben JamesHey, Reuben James You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind Faded shirt, wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plow I loved you then and I love you now Reuben JamesOh, Reuben James One dark cloud, the day they brought you from the fields And that lonely pine box came Just a preacher me and the rain To sing one last refrain for Reuben James, singin'Oh, Reuben James You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind Faded shirt, wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plow I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James (sing it children)Oh, Reuben James You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind Faded shirt, wrinkled brow The calloused hand upon the plow I loved you then and I love you now
