[00:00.09]Reuben James - Scott Walker
[00:01.34].
[00:05.00]Reuben James, in my song you live again
[00:12.47]And the phrases that I rhyme
[00:15.31]Are just footsteps out of time
[00:18.31]From the time when I first knew you Reuben James
[00:21.63].
[00:23.25]Reuben James all the folks around Madison County
[00:27.50]Cursed your name
[00:30.08]Just a no-account share-croppin colored man
[00:33.70]Who would steal anything he can
[00:36.45]And they always laid the blame on Reuben James
[00:39.64].
[00:41.40]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[00:49.97]The faded shirt, the weathered brow
[00:52.70]The calloused hand upon the plough
[00:55.53]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
[01:00.36].
[01:01.15]Flora Gray, the gossip of Madison County died with a child
[01:08.00]And although your skin was black
[01:10.77]It was you that didn t turn your back
[01:14.39]On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
[01:17.89].
[01:19.45]Reuben James, with your mind on my soul
[01:22.90]And the Bible in your right hand
[01:26.91]You said turn the other cheek
[01:29.76]A better world is a-waiting for the meek
[01:32.66]In my head those words remain from Reuben James
[01:36.28].
[01:37.91]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[01:46.48]The faded shirt, the weathered brow
[01:49.20]The calloused hand upon the plough
[01:51.96]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
[01:56.85].
[01:57.84]Reuben James one dark cloudy day
[02:01.00]They brought you from the fields
[02:04.48]And to your lonely pine box came
[02:07.67]Just a preacher, me and the rain
[02:10.99]To sing one last refrain for Reuben James
[02:14.61].
[02:15.86]Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed fields of my mind
[02:24.61]The faded shirt, the weathered brow
[02:27.36]The calloused hand upon the plough
[02:30.18]I loved you then and I love you now Reuben James
[02:35.17].
