Ruben James
Lyricist:Barry Etris, Alex Harvey
Ruben 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, Ruben James
Ruben James, all the folks around Madison County Cussed your name just a no count share croppin' colored man Who would steal anything he can And they always laid the blame on Ruben James
Ruben James, you still walk the furrowed fields on my mind The faded shirt, the weathered brow The calloused hand up on the plow I loved you then and I love you now, Ruben James
Flora Gray, a gossip of Madison County died with child And although your skin was black You were the one that didn't turn your back On a hungry white child with no name, Ruben James
Ruben James, with your mind on my soul And the bible in your right hand You said turn the other cheek Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com A there's a better world is a waiting for the meek In my head these words remain from a Ruben James
Ruben James, you still walk the furrowed fields on my mind The faded shirt, the weathered brow The calloused hand up on the plow I loved you then and I love you now, Ruben James
Ruben James one dark cloudy day That 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 Ruben James
Ruben James, you still walk the furrowed fields on my mind The faded shirt, the weathered brow The calloused hand up on the plow I loved you then and I love you now, Ruben James
Ruben James, you still walk the furrowed fields on my mind The faded shirt, the weathered brow The calloused hand up on the plow I loved you then and I love you now, Ruben James
