Willie And Laura Mae Jones (Live) - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

Willie and Laura Mae Jones[00:00:24]

Were our neighbors as long time back[00:00:26]

They lived right down the road from us[00:00:29]

In a shack just like our shack[00:00:32]

We worked in the fields together[00:00:36]

And we learned to count on each other[00:00:39]

When you live off the land[00:00:41]

You don't have time to think[00:00:43]

About another man's color[00:00:44]

The cotton was high[00:00:48]

And the corn was growing fine[00:00:49]

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

We sit out on the front porch[00:01:00]

In the evening when the sun went down[00:01:02]

Willie would play and Laura would sing[00:01:05]

And the children would dance around[00:01:08]

And I'd bring over my guitar[00:01:11]

And we'd play into the night[00:01:13]

And every now and then[00:01:16]

Willie would grin and say[00:01:17]

Boy you play all right[00:01:19]

And that made me feel good[00:01:21]

I remember we'd hitch up the mules[00:01:26]

When saturday rolled around[00:01:28]

We'd always stop by Willie's house and say[00:01:31]

Do you'll need anything from town[00:01:34]

He'd say no but why don't you'll[00:01:40]

Stop on your way back home[00:01:42]

And I'll get Laura Mae[00:01:45]

To cook up some corn porns[00:01:47]

And you know they're good[00:01:50]

Lord the cotton was high[00:01:53]

And the corn was so fine[00:01:54]

But that was another place and another time[00:01:59]

The years rolled past our land[00:02:21]

They took back what they'd given[00:02:24]

And we all knew we'd have to move[00:02:27]

If we was gonna make a living[00:02:29]

So we all moved off[00:02:32]

And went our separate ways[00:02:35]

And it sure was hard to say goodbye[00:02:38]

To Willies and Laura Mae[00:02:41]

Jones[00:02:43]

The years rolled past our door[00:02:48]

And I heard from them no more[00:02:50]

Till I saw Willie down town the other day[00:02:53]

I said just stop by tonight[00:02:59]

And we can sit down and eat a bite[00:03:02]

I'd love to see your children and Laura Mae[00:03:04]

But he shooked his head real slow[00:03:10]

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]

And the corn was growing fine oh[00:03:23]

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

Oh the cotton was high[00:03:32]

And the corn was so fine[00:03:34]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:38]
