Luyện nghe bài hát Reuben James

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

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

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

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

James, you still walk

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

Reuben James, you walk

James, you still walk
