[00:10.6]Reuben James
[00:12.38]In my song you live again
[00:16.68]And the phrases that I rhyme
[00:19.33]Are just the footsteps out of time
[00:21.92]From the time when I knew you Reuben James
[00:26.25]Hey Reuben James
[00:28.81]All the folks around madison county cussed your name
[00:33.65]Just a no account
[00:35.78]Sharecropping colored man
[00:36.9]Who would steal anything he can
[00:38.94]And it always laid the blame on Reuben James
[00:43.58]Hey Reuben James
[00:46.5]For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[00:51.43]The faded shirt the weathered brow
[00:54.01]The calloused hands upon the plow
[00:56.31]I loved you then and I love you now
[00:58.65]Reuben James
[01:01.23]Flora Grey
[01:03.38]The gossip of madison county died with child
[01:08.92]And although your skin was black
[01:11.16]You were the one that didn't turn your back
[01:13.86]On the hungry white child with no name
[01:16.33]Reuben James
[01:18.3]Hey Reuben James
[01:21.1]With your mind on my soul
[01:22.61]And a Bible in your right hand
[01:26.04]You said turn the other cheek
[01:28.82]Well there's a better world a waiting for the meek
[01:31.270004]In my mind these words remain from Reuben James
[01:35.770004]Hey Reuben James
[01:38.619995]For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[01:43.369995]The faded shirt the weathered brow
[01:45.65]The calloused hands upon the plow
[01:48.509995]I loved you then and I love you now
[01:50.880005]Reuben James
[01:53.03]Oh Reuben James
[01:55.520004]One dark cloudy day they brought you from the field
[02:00.16]Until your lonely pine box came
[02:03.03]Just a preacher and me in the rain
[02:05.46]Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James
[02:09.2]Sing it
[02:10.07]Oh Reuben James
[02:12.52]For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[02:17.42]The faded shirt the weathered brow
[02:20.08]The calloused hands upon the plow
[02:22.39]I loved you then and I love you now
[02:24.79001]Reuben James
[02:25.95999]Thank you Jorlin
[02:27.19]Reuben James
[02:29.45999]For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[02:34.29001]The faded shirt the weathered brow
[02:36.99]The calloused hands upon the plow
