    • Verse 1
    Reuben 
    James 
    in 
    my 

    song 
    you'll 
    live 
    again 

    And 
    the 
    phrases 
    that 
    I 
    rhyme 

    Are 
    just 
    the 
    footsteps 
    out 
    of 
    time 

    From 
    the 
    time 
    when 
    I 
    knew 
    you, 

    Verse 2
    Reuben 
    James. 


    Reuben 
    James 
    all 
    the 
    folks 

    Around 
    Madison 

    Caunty cussed 
    your 
    name 

    Just 
    a 
    no 
    count 
    share

    croppin' colored 
    man 

    Who'd 
    steal 
    anything 
    that 
    he 
    can 

    And 
    they 
    always 
    laid 
    the 
    blame 
    on, 

    Reuben 
    James. 

    Verse 3

    Reuben 
    James 
    you 
    still 
    walk 

    The 
    furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The 
    faded 
    shirt 
    the 

    wrinkled 
    brow 

    The calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plow 

    I 
    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I 
    love 
    you 
    now, 

    Reuben 
    James. 

    Verse 4

    Flora 
    Gray 
    the 
    gossip 
    of 
    Madison 

    County 
    died 
    with 
    the child 

    And 
    al
    though 
    your 
    skin 
    was 
    black

    You 
    were 
    the 
    one 
    who 

    didn't 
    turn 
    your 
    back 

    On 
    a 
    hungry 
    white 
    child 
    with 
    no 
    name, 

    Reuben 
    James. 

    Verse 5

    Reuben 
    James 
    with 
    your 
    mind 
    on 
    my soul 

    And 
    Bible 
    in 
    your 
    right 
    hand 

    You 
    said 
    turn 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 

    There's 
    a 
    bet
    ter 
    world 

    waitin' 
    for 
    the 
    meek 

    In 
    my 
    mind 
    these 
    words 
    re
    main 
    from, 

    Verse 6
    Reuben 
    James. 


    Reuben 
    James 
    you 
    still 
    walk 

    The 
    furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The faded 
    shirt 
    the 
    wrinkled 
    brow 

    The 
    calloused 
    hand 
    upon 
    the 
    plow 

    I 
    loved 
    you 
    then 
    and 
    I 
    love 
    you 
    now, 

    Reuben 
    James. 

    Verse 7

    Reuben 
    James 
    one 
    cold 
    dark 
    day 

    They 
    brought 
    you 
    from 
    the 
    field
    s 

    And 
    that 
    lonely 
    pinebox came 

    Just 
    a 
    preacher 
    me 
    and 
    the 
    rain 

    To 
    sing 
    one 
    last 
    re
    frain 
    for,

    you 
    still

    The 
    furrowed 
    fields 
    of 
    my 
    mind 

    The faded 
    shirt 
    the wrinkled

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
