Lyrics:

Rueben James
In my song you'll live again
And the phrases that I rhyme
Are just the footsteps out-a time
From a time when I knew Rueben James
Rueben James
All the folks around Madison County cussed your name
Just a no account share-croppin colored man
Who'll steal anything he can
And everybody laid the blame on Rueben James
Rueben James
You still walk the fertile fields of my mind
Faded shirt weathered brow
Callused hands upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Rueben James
Flora Graves
The gossip of Madison County died with child
And although your skin was black
You were the one who didn't turn your back
On a hungry white child with no name Rueben James
Rueben James
With your mind on my soul
and a bible in your right hand
You said turn the other cheek
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
In my mind these words remain from Rueben James
Rueben James
You still walk the fertile fields of my mind
Faded shirt weathered brow
Callused hands upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Rueben James
Rueben James
One dark cloudy day they brought you from the field
And to your lonely pine box came
Just a preacher me and the rain
To sing one last refrain for Rueben James
Rueben James
You still walk the fertile fields of my mind
Faded shirt weathered brow
Callused hands upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Rueben James
Rueben James
You still walk the fertile fields of my mind
Faded shirt weathered brow
Callused hands upon the plow
I loved you then and I love you now Rueben James
