Lyrics Reuben James - Kenny Rogers
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
Just
a
no-account,
sharecropping
colored
man
Who
would
steal
anything
he
can
And
everybody
laid
the
blame
on
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
For
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
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
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
my
soul
and
a
Bible
in
your
right
hand
You
said,
"Turn
the
other
cheek,
well
there's
a
better
world
awaiting
for
the
meek"
In
my
mind,
these
words
remain
from
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
For
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hands
upon
the
plow
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
One
dark,
cloudy
day
they
brought
you
from
the
field
Until
your
lonely
pine
box
came
Just
a
preacher
and
me
in
the
rain
Just
to
sing
one
last
refrain
for
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
For
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hands
upon
the
plow
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
For
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hands
upon
the
plow
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
