《Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - The First Edition/Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

[00:00:04] Reuben james in my song you live again

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

[00:00:13] Just a footstep out of time

[00:00:15] From the time when I knew you reuben james

[00:00:21] Reuben james all the folks around hadison county

[00:00:26] Cussed your name

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

[00:00:29] Sharecropping colored man

[00:00:31] Who'd steal anything you can

[00:00:34] And everybody laid the blame on reuben james

[00:00:38] Reuben james

[00:00:41] You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:00:46] Faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:00:49] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:00:51] I loved you then and I love you now reuben james

[00:00:57] Flora Grey the gossip of Madison County died with child

[00:01:05] And although your skin was black

[00:01:07] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:10] On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James

[00:01:15] Reuben James with your mind on my soul

[00:01:19] And a Bible in your right hand you said

[00:01:23] Turn the other cheek

[00:01:25] For there's a better world awaiting for the meek

[00:01:28] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:33] Reuben james

[00:01:35] You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:01:40] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:01:43] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:01:46] I loved you then and I love you now reuben james

[00:01:51] Reuben james one dark cloudy day

[00:01:55] They brought you from the field

[00:01:59] Until your lonely pine box came

[00:02:01] Just a preacher and me in the rain

[00:02:04] Just to sing one last refrain for reuben james

[00:02:09] Reuben james

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

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

[00:02:19] The calloused hands upon the plow

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

[00:02:27] Reuben james

[00:02:30] You still walk the furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:35] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:02:37] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:40] I loved you then and I love you now reuben james
