And the phrases that I rhyme are the footsteps out of time
From the time when I knew you Reuben

Reuben James, all the folks Madison County cussed your name
a no count share croppin' black man who'd steal anything that he can
And everybody laid the blame on James

Reuben James, you walk the furrowed fields of my mind
shirt the wrinkled brow the calloused hand upon the plow

Reuben James one dark cloudy day brought you from the fields
To your lonely pine box a preacher me and the rain
To one last refrain for Reuben James

Reuben James, you walk

Reuben James, you still
