  • Verse 1
    Reuben 
    James, 

    in 
    my 
    song 
    you 
    live 
    again 

    Verse 2

    And 
    the phrases 
    that 
    rhyme 

    Are just 
    footsteps 
    out 
    of time 

    From 
    the time 
    when 
    first 
    knew 

    you 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James 
    all 
    the folks 

    around 
    Madison 
    County 

    Cursed 
    your 
    name 

    Just 
    no- 
    account 
    share- 

    crop
    pin colored 
    man 

    Who 
    would steal 
    any
    thing 
    he can 

    And 
    they 
    always 
    laid 
    the blame 

    on 
    Re
    uben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James, 

    you still 
    walk 
    the furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 3

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 

    the 
    weathered 
    brow 

    The calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plough 

    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    love 
    you 

    now 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Flora 
    Gray, 
    the gossip 
    of 
    Madison 

    County 
    died 
    with 
    a child 

    And 
    al
    though 
    your 
    skin 
    was 
    black 

    It 
    was 
    you 
    that 
    didnt 
    turn 
    your 
    back

    On 
    a hungry 
    white 
    child 
    with 
    no 
    name, 

    Re
    uben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James, 

    with 
    your mind 
    on 
    my soul 

    And 
    the 
    Bible 
    in 
    your 
    right 
    hand 

    You said 
    turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    better 
    world 
    is 
    a- waiting 
    for 
    the 
    meek 

    In 
    my 
    head 
    those 
    words 
    re
    main 

    from 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James, 
    you still 
    walk 
    the 

    furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 4

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 
    the 
    weathered 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plough 

    I loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    love 
    you 
    now 

    Reuben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James 
    one 
    dark 

    cloudy 
    day 

    They brought 
    you 
    from 
    the 
    fields 

    And 
    to your 
    lonely 
    pine 
    box 
    came 

    Just 
    preacher, 
    me 
    and 
    the rain 

    To sing 
    one 
    last 
    re
    frain 

    for 
    Reuben 
    James 

    Reuben 
    James, 

    you still 
    walk 
    the furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    Verse 5

    The 
    faded 
    shirt, 

    the 
    weathered 
    brow 

    The calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plough 

    I loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I love 
    you 
    now 

    Reuben 
    James

    • 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.
