[00:00:00] Reuben James - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

[00:00:01] Written by：Barry Jack Etris/Alex Harvey

[00:00:05] Reuben James in my song you live again

[00:00:11] And the phrases 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

[00:00:32] 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

[00:01:10] 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

[00:01:28] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:33] Reuben James for 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 pine box

[00:02:01] 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

[00:02:17] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

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

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

[00:02:35] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

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