Reuben James (鲁本·詹姆斯) - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

Reuben James in my song you live again

And the phrase that I rhyme are just a footstep out of time

From the time when I knew you Reuben James

Reuben James all the folks around madison county

Cussed your name

You're just a no count sharecropping colored man

You'd steal anything you can

And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

For a grave the gossiper of madison county died with chid

Although your skin was black

You were the one that didn't turn your back

On the hungry white child with no name Reuben James

Reuben James with your mind on the soul

And a bottle in your right hand

You said turn the other cheek

For there's a better world awaiting for the meek

In my mind these words remain from Reuben James

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

Reuben James one dark cloudy day

They brought you from the field

And to your lonely pine box

Came just a preacher me and the rain

Just to sing one last refrain to Reuben James

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James

Reuben James for you still walk over fields of my mind

Faded shirt weathered brow caloused hands upon the plow

Loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
