Luyện nghe bài hát Reuben James

Reuben James in my song, you'll live
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 share croppin' black man who'd steal that he can
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben

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

Flora the gossip of Madison County died with child
And your skin was black
You were the one who turn your back
On a hungry white child no name Reuben James

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

Reuben James, you still

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

James, you still walk

Reuben James, you walk
