Luyện nghe bài hát Reuben James

Reuben in my song, you'll live again
And the phrases I rhyme are just the footsteps out of time
From the when I knew you Reuben James

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

Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed of my mind
Faded shirt the brow the calloused hand upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now James

Flora Gray the gossip of County died with child
And your skin was black
You were the one who didn't your back
On a hungry white child with no name James

Reuben James, with your mind on my and Bible in your right hand
You said turn the other there's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my head these words remain Reuben James

Reuben James, you still

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

Reuben James, you walk

Reuben James, you still
