Reuben James - Scott Walker
Reuben James, in my song you live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just footsteps out of time
From the time when I first knew you Reuben James
Reuben James all the folks around Madison County
Cursed your name
Just a no-account share-croppin colored man
Who would steal anything he can
And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt, the weathered brow
The calloused hand upon the plough
I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
Flora Gray, the gossip of Madison County died with a child
And although your skin was black
It was you that didnt turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
And the Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
A better wo

Black James White歌词

[00:12.47] And the phrases that I rhyme
[00:15.31] Are just footsteps out of time
[00:18.31] From the time when I first knew you Reuben James
[00:23.25] Reuben James all the folks around Madison County
[00:27.50] Cursed your name
[00:30.08] Just a no-account share-croppin colored man
[00:33.70] Who would steal anything he can
[00:36.45] And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
[00:41.40] Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[00:49.97] The faded shirt, the weathered brow
[00:52.70] The calloused hand upon the plough
[00:55.53] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
[01:01.15] Flora Gray, the gossip of Madison County died with a child
[01:08.00] And although your skin was black
[01:10.77] It was you that didnt turn your back
[01:14.39] On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
[01:19.45] Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
[01:22.90] And the Bible in your right hand

[01:49.20] The calloused hand upon the plough
[01:51.96] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
[01:57.84] Reuben James one dark cloudy day
[02:01.00] They brought you from the fields
[02:04.48] And to your lonely pine box came
[02:07.67] Just a preacher, me and the rain
[02:10.99] To sing one last refrain for Reuben James
[02:15.86] Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[02:24.61] The faded shirt, the weathered brow
[02:27.36] The calloused hand upon the plough
[02:30.18] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
