[00:00:01] Written by：Alex Harvey/Barry Jack Etris

[00:00:10] Reuben James

[00:00:12] In my song you live again

[00:00:16] And the phrases that I rhyme

[00:00:19] Are just the footsteps out of time

[00:00:21] From the time when I knew you Reuben James

[00:00:26] Hey Reuben James

[00:00:28] All the folks around madison county cussed your name

[00:00:33] Just a no account

[00:00:35] Sharecropping colored man

[00:00:36] Who would steal anything he can

[00:00:38] And it always laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:43] Hey Reuben James

[00:00:46] For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:00:51] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:00:54] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:00:56] I loved you then and I love you now

[00:00:58] Reuben James

[00:01:01] Flora Grey

[00:01:03] The gossip of madison county died with child

[00:01:08] And although your skin was black

[00:01:11] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:13] On the hungry white child with no name

[00:01:16] Reuben James

[00:01:18] Hey Reuben James

[00:01:21] With your mind on my soul

[00:01:22] And a Bible in your right hand

[00:01:26] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:28] Well there's a better world a waiting for the meek

[00:01:31] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:35] Hey Reuben James

[00:01:38] For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:01:43] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:01:45] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:01:48] I loved you then and I love you now

[00:01:50] Reuben James

[00:01:53] Oh Reuben James

[00:01:55] One dark cloudy day they brought you from the field

[00:02:00] Until your lonely pine box came

[00:02:03] Just a preacher and me in the rain

[00:02:05] Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James

[00:02:09] Sing it

[00:02:10] Oh Reuben James

[00:02:12] For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:17] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:02:20] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:22] I loved you then and I love you now

[00:02:24] Reuben James

[00:02:25] Thank you Jorlin

[00:02:27] Reuben James

[00:02:29] For you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:34] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:02:36] The calloused hands upon the plow
