Intro E
Reuben EJames
In my Bsong you'll live Eagain
And the Aphrases that I Erhyme
Are just Bfootsteps outta Etime
From a Atime when I Eknew you, BReuben EJames
Reuben EJames,
All the folks around Madison BCounty cussed your Ename
Just a Ano account share-cropper Ecoloured man
Who'd Bsteal anything he Ecan
And everyAbody laid the Eblame on BReuben EJames
Chorus
Reuben AJames
You still walk the fertile fields of my Emind
The faded Ashirt, the weathered brow
The calloused Ehands upon the plough
Loved you Dthen and I love you Anow, Reuben James E
Flora GEraves,
The gossip of Madison BCounty died with Echild
And alAthough your skin was Eblack
You were the Bone who didn't turn your Eback
On a Ahungry white child with Eno name, BReuben EJames
Reuben EJames,
With your mind on my soul and a Bbible in your right Ehand
And you said Aturn the other Echeek
There's a Bbetter world waitin' for the Emeek
In my Amind these words Eremain from BReuben EJames
Repeat chorus
Reuben AJames
You still walk the fertile fields of my Emind
The faded Ashirt, the weathered brow
The calloused Ehands upon the plough
Loved you Dthen and I love you Anow, Reuben James E
Third verse key change F
(if you can swing it, otherwise keep in key of E)
Reuben FJames,
One dark cloudy day they Cbrought you from the Ffield
And to your Bblonely pine box Fcame
Just a Cpreacher me and the Frain
To sBbing one last Frefrain for CReuben James F
Chorus x 2
Reuben BbJames
You still walk the fertile fields of my Fmind
The faded Bbshirt, the weathered brow
The calloused Fhands upon the plough
