《Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Done Again (又一次乐队)

[00:00:04] Reuben James in my song you'll live again

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

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

[00:00:15] From the time when I knew you Reuben James

[00:00:19] Reuben James all the folks

[00:00:22] Around Madison County cussed your name

[00:00:27] You're just a no-account sharecropping colored man

[00:00:29] Who'd steal anything he can

[00:00:31] And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

[00:00:36] Reuben James you still walk

[00:00:39] The furrowed fields of my mind

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

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

[00:00:47] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:00:52] Flora Grey the gossip of Madison County died with child

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

[00:01:02] You were the one that didn't turn your back

[00:01:04] On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James

[00:01:09] Reuben James with your mind on my soul

[00:01:13] And a Bible in your right hand you

[00:01:16] Said "Turn the other cheek

[00:01:18] For there's a better world awaiting for the meek"

[00:01:21] In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

[00:01:25] Reuben James you still walk

[00:01:29] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:01:32] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:01:35] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:01:37] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:01:42] Reuben James one dark cloudy day

[00:01:46] They brought you from the field

[00:01:49] Until your lonely pine box came

[00:01:51] Just a preacher and me in the rain

[00:01:54] Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James

[00:01:58] Reuben James you still walk

[00:02:02] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:06] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:02:08] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:10] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

[00:02:15] Reuben James you still walk

[00:02:18] The furrowed fields of my mind

[00:02:22] The faded shirt the weathered brow

[00:02:24] The calloused hands upon the plow

[00:02:26] I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
