C G7 C
Rueben James in my song you'll live a gain
F C
And the phrases that I rhyme
G7 C
Are just the footsteps out-a time
F C G7 C
From a time when I knew Rueben James
G7 C
Rueben James all the folks around Madison County cussed your name
F C
Just a no account share-cropping colored man
G7 C
Who steal anything he can
F C G7 C
And everybody laid the blame on Rueben James
F C
Rueben James you still walk the fertile fields of my mind
F
Faded shirt weathered brow
C
Callused hands upon the plow
F G7 C
I loved you then and I love you now Rueben James
G7 C
Flora Graves the gossip of Madison County died with child
F C
And although your skin was black
G7 C
You were the one who didn't turn your back
F C G7 C
On a hungry white child with no name Rueben James
G7 C
Rueben James with your mind on my soul and a bible in your right hand
F C
You said turn the other cheek
G7 C
There's a better world waiting for the meek
F C G7 C
In my mind these words re main from Rueben James
Repeat #3
