Reuben James
Lyricist:Barry Etris, Alex Harvey
Reuben James in my song, you'll live again And the phrases that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time From the time when I knew you Reuben James
Reuben James, all the folks around Madison County cussed your name Just a no count share croppin' black man who'd steal anything that he can And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind Faded shirt the wrinkled 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 were the one who didn't turn your back Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 head these words remain from Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk
Reuben James one dark cloudy day they brought you from the fields To your lonely pine box came a preacher me and the rain To sing one last refrain for Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk
Reuben James, you still walk
