《Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - La Banda del Recuerdo

[00:00:03] Reuben James

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

[00:00:09] And the phrases

[00:00:10] That I rhyme

[00:00:11] Are just a footstep out of time

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

[00:00:18] Reuben James

[00:00:20] All the folks around hadison county

[00:00:22] Cussed your name

[00:00:25] You're just a no count sharecropping colored man

[00:00:28] You'd steal anything you can

[00:00:30] And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:34] Reuben James

[00:00:36] For you still walk over fields of my mind

[00:00:41] Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

[00:00:46] Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:00:50] For a grave

[00:00:52] The gossiper of hadison county died with chid

[00:00:57] Although your skin was black

[00:00:59] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:02] On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James

[00:01:06] Reuben James with your mind on the soul

[00:01:10] And a bottle in your right hand

[00:01:13] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:15] For there's a better world awaiting for the meek

[00:01:17] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:22] Reuben James

[00:01:24] You still walk over for fields of my mind

[00:01:29] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:01:31] Caloused hands upon the plow

[00:01:33] Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:38] Reuben James one dark cloudy day

[00:01:42] They brought you from the field

[00:01:45] And to your lonely pinebox

[00:01:46] Came just a preacher me and the rain

[00:01:49] Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

[00:01:54] Reuben James

[00:01:56] You still walk over for fields of my mind

[00:02:01] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:02:03] Caloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:05] Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:02:10] Reuben James

[00:02:12] You still walk over for fields of my mind

[00:02:17] Faded shirt weathered brow

[00:02:19] Caloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:21] Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
