[00:00:11] Reuben James in my song you'll live again

[00:00:17] And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time

[00:00:22] From the time when I knew you Reuben James

[00:00:26] Hey Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name

[00:00:34] Just a no count of colored man who'd steal anything that he can

[00:00:39] And they always laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:44] Hey Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:00:50] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:00:56] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:01] Hey Flora Gray well the gossip of Madison County died with the child

[00:01:08] And although your skin was black you were the one who didn't turn your back

[00:01:14] On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James

[00:01:18] Hey Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand

[00:01:26] You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek

[00:01:30] In my head those words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:36] Hey Reuben James you still walk

[00:01:40] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:01:43] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:01:48] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:52] Oh Reuben James one cold dark day they brought you from the fields

[00:02:00] And that lonely pinebox came just a preacher me and the rain

[00:02:05] To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

[00:02:07] Oh Reuben James you still walk

[00:02:14] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:17] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:02:22] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:02:25] Reuben James
