《Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Hit Crew Masters

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

[00:00:12] And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time

[00:00:17] From the time when I knew you Reuben James

[00:00:22] Hey Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name

[00:00:31] Just a no count of colored man who'd steal anything that he can

[00:00:36] And they always laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:41] Hey Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:00:49] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:00:54] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:00] 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

[00:01:13] 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

[00:01:27] You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek

[00:01:32] In my head those words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:37] Hey Reuben James you still walk

[00:01:41] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:01:45] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:01:50] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:56] Oh Reuben James one cold dark day they brought you from the fields

[00:02:04] And that lonely pinebox came just a preacher me and the rain

[00:02:09] To sing one last refrain for Reuben James

[00:02:14] Oh Reuben James you still walk

[00:02:19] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:22] The faded shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

[00:02:28] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:02:33] Reuben James
