Reuben JamesIn my song you'll live againAnd the phrases that I rhymeAre just the footsteps out of timeFrom the time when I knew youReuben JamesReuben James, all the folks around Madison CountyCussed your nameYou're just a no-account, sharecropping colored manWho'd steal anything he canAnd everybody laid the blame on Reuben JamesCHORUS:Reuben James, for you still walk the furrowed fields of my mindFaded shirt, your weathered browYour caloused hands upon the plowI loved you then and I love you now, Reuben JamesFlora Grey, the gossip of Madison County died with childAnd although your skin was blackYou were the one that didn't turn your backOn the hungry white child with no name Reuben JamesReuben James, with your mind on my soulAnd a Bible in your right handYou said turn the other cheekFor there's a better world awaiting for the meekIn my mind these words remain from Reuben James(Music goes up a half step in the upcoming last verse)Reuben James one dark cloudy day they brought you from the fieldUntil your lonely pinebox cameor Unto your lonely pinebox cameJust a preacher of me in the rain
