1
Reuben James in my song you'll live again
2
And the phrases that I rhyme
3
Are just footsteps out of time
4
From the time when I knew you, Reuben James
5
Reuben James all the folks around Madison County cussed your name
6
Just a no count share croppin' colored man
7
Who'd steal anything that he can
8
And they always laid the blame on, Reuben James
9
Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
10
The faded shirt, the wrinkled brow
11
The calloused hand upon the plow
12
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
13
Flora Gray, the gossip of Madison County died with the child
14
And although your skin was black
15
You were the one who didn't turn your back
16
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
17
Reuben James with your mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand
18
You said turn the other cheek
19
There's a better land waitin' for the meek
20
In my mind these words remain from Reuben James
21
Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
22
The faded shirt, the wrinkled brow
23
The calloused hand upon the plow
24
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
25
Reuben James, one cold dark day, they brought you from the fields
26
And to your lonely pine box came
27
Just a preacher, me and the rain
28
To sing one last refrain for Reuben James
29
Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
30
The faded shirt, the wrinkled brow
31
The calloused hand upon the plow
32
I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
