Reuben James
(Alex Harvey - Barry Etris)
Reuben James in my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time
For the time when I knew you Reuben James
Reuben James all the folks around Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count sharecroppin' colored man who'd steal anything he can
And they always put the blame on Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt, the withered brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James.
Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black you was the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name Reuben James
Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt, the withered brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James.
Reuben James one dark cloudy day they brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came
Just a preacher, me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James.
Reuben James you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt, the withered brow
The calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James...
