Reuben James

In the style of

Kenny Rogers

Lyrics

reuben james
in my song
you'll live again

and the phrases
that i rhyme
are just-a footsteps
out of time
from the time
when i knew you
reuben james

reuben james
all the folks around
madison county
cussed your name

just a no-account
sharecroppin'
colored man
who'd steal
anything he can
and everybody
laid the blame
on reuben james

reuben james
well you still walk
the further fields
of my mind

faded shirt
weathered brow
calloused hands
upon the plow
loved you then
and i love you now
reuben james

flora gray
the gossip of
madison county
died with child

although your skin
was black
you were the one
that didn't
turn your back

from the
hungry white child
with no name
reuben james

reuben james
with your
mind on my soul
and a bottle
in your right hand

you said turn
the other cheek
well there's
a better world
a-waitin' for the meek
in my mind
these words remain
from reuben james

reuben james
well you still walk
the further fields
of my mind

faded shirt
weathered brow
calloused hands
upon the plow
loved you then
and i love you now
reuben james

reuben james
one dark cloudy day
they brought you
from the field

and to your
lonely pine box came
just a preacher
me and the rain
just to sing
one last refrain
for reuben james

reuben james
well you still walk
the further fields
of my mind

faded shirt
weathered brow
calloused hands
upon the plow
loved you then
and i love you now
reuben james

reuben james
well you still walk
the further fields
of my mind

faded shirt
weathered brow
calloused hands
upon the plow
loved you then
and i love you now
reuben james
