Lyrics Reuben James - Scott Walker
Reuben
James,
in
my
song
you
live
again
And
the
phrases
that
I
rhyme
Are
just
footsteps
out
of
time
From
the
time
when
I
first
knew
you
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
all
the
folks
around
Madison
County
Cursed
your
name
Just
a
no-account
share-croppin
colored
man
Who
would
steal
anything
he
can
And
they
always
laid
the
blame
on
Reuben
James
Reuben
James,
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hand
upon
the
plough
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
Flora
Gray,
the
gossip
of
Madison
County
died
with
a
child
And
although
your
skin
was
black
It
was
you
that
didnt
turn
your
back
On
a
hungry
white
child
with
no
name,
Reuben
James
Reuben
James,
with
your
mind
on
my
soul
And
the
Bible
in
your
right
hand
You
said
turn
the
other
cheek
A
better
world
is
a-waiting
for
the
meek
In
my
head
those
words
remain
from
Reuben
James
Reuben
James,
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hand
upon
the
plough
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
Reuben
James
one
dark
cloudy
day
They
brought
you
from
the
fields
And
to
your
lonely
pine
box
came
Just
a
preacher,
me
and
the
rain
To
sing
one
last
refrain
for
Reuben
James
Reuben
James,
you
still
walk
the
furrowed
fields
of
my
mind
The
faded
shirt,
the
weathered
brow
The
calloused
hand
upon
the
plough
I
loved
you
then
and
I
love
you
now
Reuben
James
