[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - The Global HitMakers

[00:00:04] (Karaoke Lead Vocal Version)

[00:00:05] Reuben James

[00:00:08] In my song you live again

[00:00:11] And the phrase that I rhyme

[00:00:14] Are just a footstep out of time

[00:00:16] From the time when I knew you

[00:00:18] Reuben James

[00:00:20] Reuben James all the folks around Hadison County

[00:00:25] Cussed your name

[00:00:28] You're just a no-count sharecropping colored man

[00:00:30] You'd steal anything you can

[00:00:33] And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:37] Reuben James for you still walk

[00:00:41] Over fields of my mind

[00:00:44] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:00:46] Colored hands upon the plow

[00:00:49] Loved you then and I love you now

[00:00:51] Reuben James

[00:00:54] For a grave

[00:00:57] The gossiper of Hadison County died with chide

[00:01:01] Although your skin was black

[00:01:03] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:05] On the hungry white child with no name

[00:01:08] Reuben James Reuben James

[00:01:13] With your mind on the soul

[00:01:14] And a bottle in your right hand

[00:01:17] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:19] For there's a better world awaiting for the meek

[00:01:22] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:27] Reuben James for you still walk

[00:01:30] Over fields of my mind

[00:01:34] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:01:36] Colored hands upon the plow

[00:01:38] Loved you then and I love you now

[00:01:41] Reuben James

[00:01:43] Reuben James one dark cloudy day

[00:01:47] They brought you from the field

[00:01:50] And to your lonely crambox

[00:01:52] Came just a preacher

[00:01:54] Me and the rain

[00:01:55] Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

[00:02:00] Reuben James for you still walk

[00:02:03] Over fields of my mind

[00:02:07] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:02:09] Colored hands upon the plow

[00:02:11] Loved you then and I love you now

[00:02:14] Reuben James

[00:02:16] Reuben James for you still walk

[00:02:20] Over fields of my mind

[00:02:24] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:02:26] Colored hands upon the plow

[00:02:28] Loved you then and I love you now

[00:02:30] Reuben James
