[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Pickin' On Series

[00:00:04] Reuben James

[00:00:06] In my song you live again

[00:00:10] And the phrases that I rhyme

[00:00:12] Are just the footsteps out of time

[00:00:14] From the time when I knew you

[00:00:16] Reuben James

[00:00:18] Reuben James

[00:00:20] All the folks around Madison County

[00:00:22] Cussed your name

[00:00:25] Just a no count share croppin' colored man

[00:00:27] Who would steal anything he can

[00:00:29] And everybody laid the blame

[00:00:31] On Reuben James

[00:00:33] Reuben James

[00:00:35] You still walk

[00:00:36] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:00:40] The faded shirt

[00:00:41] The weathered brow

[00:00:42] The calloused hands

[00:00:43] Upon the plough

[00:00:44] I loved you then

[00:00:45] And I love you now Reuben James

[00:00:48] Flora Gray the gossip

[00:00:51] Of Madison County died with child

[00:00:55] And although your skin was black

[00:00:57] You were the one

[00:00:58] That didn't turn your back

[00:00:59] On the hungry white child with no name

[00:01:01] Reuben James

[00:01:04] Reuben James with your mind on my soul

[00:01:07] And the bible in your right hand

[00:01:10] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:13] There's a better world

[00:01:13] Awaiting for the meek

[00:01:15] In my mind these words

[00:01:16] Remain from Reuben James

[00:01:19] Reuben James

[00:01:21] You still walk the furrowed

[00:01:23] Fields of my mind

[00:01:26] The faded shirt

[00:01:26] The weathered brow

[00:01:27] The calloused hands

[00:01:29] Upon the plough

[00:01:30] I loved you then

[00:01:31] And I love you now

[00:01:32] Reuben James

[00:01:34] Reuben James

[00:01:37] One dark cloudy day

[00:01:38] That brought you from the fields

[00:01:41] And to your lonely pine box came

[00:01:43] Just a preacher me and the rain

[00:01:45] Just to sing one last refrain

[00:01:47] For Reuben James

[00:01:49] Reuben James

[00:01:52] You still walk the furrowed fields

[00:01:53] Of my mind

[00:01:56] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:01:58] The calloused hands upon the plough

[00:02:00] I loved you then and I love you now

[00:02:02] Reuben James

[00:02:05] Reuben James

[00:02:07] You still walk the furrowed fields

[00:02:09] Of my mind

[00:02:11] The faded shirt

[00:02:12] The weathered brow

[00:02:13] The calloused hands upon the plough

[00:02:15] I loved you then and I love you now

[00:02:17] Reuben James
