Luyện nghe bài hát Reuben James

Reuben James in my song you'll again
And the that I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time
For the when I knew you Reuben James
Reuben James all the folks Madison Caunty cussed your name
Just a no count colored man who'd steal anything he can
And they always put the blame on Reuben
Reuben James you still the furrowed fields of my mind
The faded shirt the wrinkled the calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now James

Flora Gray the gossip of Madison County died with
And although your skin was black you were the one who didn't turn back
On a hungry white child with no name Reuben
Reuben James with mind on my soul and Bible in your right hand
You turn the other cheek there's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my head these words from Reuben James
James you still walk...

Reuben James one cloudy day they brought you from the fields
And that lonely pinebox came a preacher me and the rain
To one last refrain for Reuben James
Reuben James you walk...
