Reuben James Lyric | Kenny Rogers |  |  | 20 GREATEST HITS |  |
| | | | |
Reuben James In my song you live again And the phrases that I rhyme Are
just the footsteps 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-account, sharecropping colored man Who'd steal
anything he can And everybody laid the blame on Reuben
James
CHORUS: Reuben James, for you still walk the furthest field of
my mind Faded shirt, your weathered brow Your caloused hands upon the
plow I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
Flora Grey, the
gossip of Madison County died with child And 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
(Music goes up a half step in the upcoming last
verse) Reuben James one dark cloudy day they brought you from the
field Until your lonely pinebox came or Unto your lonely pinebox
came Just a preacher of me in the rain Just to sing one last refrain for
Reuben James
