In my song you'll live again

Are just footsteps outta time
A E B E
From a time when I knew you, Reuben James
E
Reuben James,

Who'd steal anything he can
A E B E
And everybody laid the blame on Reuben James
Chorus

You still walk the fertile fields of my mind

The faded shirt, the weathered brow

The calloused hands upon the plough
D A E
Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
E
Flora Graves,

The gossip of Madison County died with child
A E
And although your skin was black
B E
You were the one who didn't turn your back
A E B E
On a hungry white child with no name, Reuben James
E
Reuben James,
B E
With your mind on my soul and a bible in your right hand
A E
And you said turn the other cheek
B E
There's a better world waitin' for the meek
A E B E
In my mind these words remain from Reuben James
Repeat chorus

You still walk the fertile fields of my mind

Loved you then and I love you now, Reuben James
