Luyện nghe bài hát Reuben James

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

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

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