《Ruben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Ruben James - Freddy Fender

[00:00:04] Reuben james in my song you live again

[00:00:11] And the phrase that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time

[00:00:16] From the time when I knew you reuben james

[00:00:21] Reuben james all the folks around hadison county

[00:00:26] Cussed your name

[00:00:29] You're just a no count sharecropping colored man

[00:00:31] You'd steal anything you can

[00:00:34] And everybody laid the blame on reuben james

[00:00:39] Reuben james for you still walk over fields of my mind

[00:00:46] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

[00:00:51] Loved you then and I love you now reuben james

[00:00:57] For a grave the gossiper of hadison county died with chid

[00:01:05] Although your skin was black

[00:01:07] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:09] On the hungry white child with no name reuben james

[00:01:15] Reuben james with your mind on the soul

[00:01:19] And a bottle in your right hand

[00:01:23] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:25] For there's a better world awaiting for the meek

[00:01:27] In my mind these words remain from reuben james

[00:01:33] Reuben james you still walk over fields of my mind

[00:01:40] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

[00:01:45] Loved you then and I love you now reuben james

[00:01:51] Reuben james one dark cloudy day

[00:01:55] They brought you from the field

[00:01:59] And to your lonely pinebox

[00:02:00] Came just a preacher me and the rain

[00:02:04] Just to sing one last refrain to reuben james

[00:02:09] Reuben james for you still walk over fields of my mind

[00:02:16] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:21] Loved you then and I love you now reuben james

[00:02:27] Reuben james for you still walk over fields of my mind

[00:02:34] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:40] Loved you then and I love you now
