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
