Ruben James, in my song of liberty
And [G] the phrases [E] that I write are just footsteps out of time
[G] From the time [A] when I knew you, [D] Ruben James
Ruben James, all the folks around Madison County cussed your name
[G] Just a no-count [D] sharecropping colored man who would steal anything he can
[G] And everybody [D] laid the blame on Ruben James
Ruben [G] James, you still walk the birth field [D] of my mind
[G] Raided shirt, weathered brow, [D] calloused hands upon the plow
I [G] loved you then and I love you now, [D] Ruben James
[Bb] You know, Kenny, I really like that song.
I'd like to learn it and work on it and do it a little bit later [E] on this season if you don't mind.

[E] And now the sun [A] is burning brightly
We lie in love [E] so close [A] together
I get the feel deep inside me
My love [B] for you [A] will burn forever
