    Lyrics

    Reuben James ft. Dolly Parton - Dolly Parton & Dolly Parton

    ...

    Reuben James

    In my song you live again

    And the phrases that I rhyme

    Are just the footsteps out of time

    From the time when I knew you, Reuben James


    Reuben James

    All the folks around Madison County cussed your name

    You're just a no-account, sharecropping colored man

    Who would steal anything he can

    And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James


    Reuben James, for you still walk the furrowed field of my mind

    Faded shirt, the weathered brow

    The calloused hands upon the plow

    I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James


    Flora Grey

    The gossip of Madison County died with child

    And although your skin was black

    You were the one that didn't turn your back

    On the hungry white child with no name, Reuben James


    Reuben James

    With your mind on my soul and a Bible in your right hand

    You said "turn the other cheek

    A-there's a better world a-waiting for the meek"

    In my mind these words remain from Reuben James


    Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed field of my mind

    The faded shirt, the weathered brow

    The calloused hands upon the plow

    I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James


    Reuben Jame

    One dark, cloudy day they brought you from the field

    Until your lonely pinebox came

    Just a preacher and me in the rain

    Just to sing one last refrain for Reuben James


    Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed field of my mind

    The faded shirt, the weathered brow

    The calloused hands upon the plow

    I loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James


    Reuben James, you still walk the furrowed field of my mind

    The faded shirt, the weathered brow

    The calloused hands upon the plow

    I loved you then a
