Willie And Laura Mae Jones - Tony Joe White[00:00:01]

Willie and laura mae jones[00:00:18]

Were our neighbors as long time back[00:00:20]

They lived right down the road from us[00:00:23]

In a shack just like our shack[00:00:26]

We worked in the fields together[00:00:28]

And we learned to count on each other[00:00:31]

When you live off the land[00:00:34]

You don't have time to think[00:00:35]

About another man's color[00:00:37]

The cotton was high[00:00:41]

And the corn was growing fine[00:00:42]

But that was another place and another time[00:00:46]

We sit out on the front porch[00:00:54]

In the evening when the sun went down[00:00:56]

Willie would play and laura would sing[00:00:59]

And the children would dance around[00:01:02]

And i'd bring over my guitar[00:01:05]

And we'd play into the night[00:01:07]

And every now and then[00:01:10]

Willie would grin and say[00:01:11]

Boy you play all right[00:01:12]

And that made me feel so good[00:01:15]

I remember we'd hitch up the mules[00:01:22]

When saturday rolled around[00:01:25]

We'd always stop by willies house and say[00:01:27]

Do you'll need anything from town[00:01:30]

He'd say no but why don't you'll[00:01:35]

Stop on your way back home[00:01:38]

And i'll get laura mae[00:01:41]

To cook up some corn porns[00:01:43]

You know they're good[00:01:45]

The cotton was high[00:01:49]

And the corn was growing fine[00:01:50]

But that was another place and another time[00:01:54]

The years rolled past our land[00:02:11]

They took back what they'd given[00:02:13]

And we all knew we'd have to move[00:02:16]

If we was gonna make a living[00:02:18]

So we all moved off[00:02:21]

And went our separate ways[00:02:24]

And it sure was hard to say goodbye[00:02:26]

To willies and laura mae jones[00:02:29]

The cotton was high[00:02:36]

And the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:02:37]

But that was another place and another time[00:02:41]

The years rolled past our door[00:02:49]

And we heard from them no more[00:02:52]

Till i saw willie down town the other day[00:02:55]

I said just stop by tonight[00:03:00]

And we can sit down and eat a bite[00:03:03]

We'd love to see your children and laura mae[00:03:05]

He shook his head real slow[00:03:11]

And spoke with his eyes so can[00:03:13]

This is another place and another time[00:03:16]

The cotton was high[00:03:21]

The corn was growing fine[00:03:23]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:27]
