《Reuben James》歌词

[00:00:00] Reuben James - Kenny Rogers

[00:00:04] Ruben James in my song you live again

[00:00:11] And the phrases that I rhyme

[00:00:13] Are just the footsteps out of time

[00:00:16] From the time when I knew you Ruben James

[00:00:21] Ruben James all the folks around Madison County

[00:00:26] Cussed your name just a no

[00:00:29] Count share cropping colored man

[00:00:31] Who would steal anything he can

[00:00:34] And never but laid the blame on Ruben James

[00:00:39] Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind

[00:00:46] The faded skirt the weathered brow

[00:00:49] The calloused hand up on the plow

[00:00:51] I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James

[00:00:57] Flora Gray a gossip of Madison County died with child

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

[00:01:07] You words wanna did turn your back

[00:01:10] On a hungry white child with no name Ruben James

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

[00:01:19] And the bible in your right hand

[00:01:23] You said turn the other cheek

[00:01:25] A better better world is a waiting for the meek

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

[00:01:33] Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind

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

[00:01:43] The calloused hand up on the plow

[00:01:45] I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James

[00:01:51] Ruben James one dark cloudy day

[00:01:55] That brought you from the fields

[00:01:59] And to your lonely pine box came

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

[00:02:04] To sing one last refrain for Ruben James

[00:02:09] Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind

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

[00:02:19] The calloused hand up on the plow

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

[00:02:27] Ruben James you still walk furrowed fields on my mind

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

[00:02:37] The calloused hand up on the plow

[00:02:40] I loved you then and I love you now Ruben James
