  • Verse 1
    Reuben 
    James 

    In 
    my 
    song 
    you 
    live 
    again 

    And 
    the phrases 
    that 
    rhyme 

    Are just 
    the 
    footsteps 
    out 
    of time 

    From 
    the time 
    when 
    knew 
    you, 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 2

    Reuben 
    James 

    All 
    the folks 
    around 
    Madison 

    County 
    cussed 
    your 
    name 

    You're 
    just 
    no-ac
    count, 

    sharecropping 
    colored 
    man 

    Who would 
    steal 
    anything 
    he can

    And 
    everybody 
    laid 
    the blame 

    on 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 3

    Reuben 
    James, 

    for 
    you still 
    walk 
    the furrowed 
    field 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    Faded 
    shirt, 
    the weathered 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hands 
    upon 
    the 
    plow 

    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    love 
    you 
    now, 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 4

    Flor
    Grey 

    The 
    gossip 
    of 
    Madison 

    County 
    died 
    with 
    child 

    And 
    al
    though 
    your 
    skin 
    was 
    black 

    You 
    were 
    the 
    one 
    that 
    didn't 

    turn 
    your back

    On 
    the 
    hungry 
    white 
    child 
    with 
    no 
    name, 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 5

    Reuben 
    James 

    With 
    your mind 
    on 
    my soul 
    and 

    a Bible 
    in 
    your 
    right 
    hand 

    You 
    said 
    "turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    A-there's 
    better 
    world 

    a-waiting for 
    for 
    the 
    meek" 

    In 
    my 
    mind 
    these 
    words 
    re
    main 

    from 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 6

    Reuben 
    James, 

    you still 
    walk 
    the furrowed 
    field 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 
    the 
    weathered 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hands 
    upon 
    the plow 

    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I love 
    you now, 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 7

    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 
    re
    frain 

    for 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 8

    Reuben 
    James, 

    you 
    still 
    walk 
    the furrowed 
    field 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 
    the 
    weathered 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hands 
    upon 
    the 
    plow 

    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    love 
    you 
    now, 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Verse 9

    Reuben 
    James, 

    you 
    still 
    walk 
    the 
    furrowed 
    field 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 
    the weathered 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hands 
    upon 
    the plow 

    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I love 
    you 
    now,

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
