Willie & Laura Mae Jones [00:00:15]

Were our neighbours a long time back [00:00:18]

They lived right down the road from us [00:00:20]

In a shack just like our shack [00:00:24]

The people worked the land together [00:00:26]

And we learned to count on each other [00:00:29]

When you live off the land [00:00:31]

You don't have the time to think about another man's colour [00:00:34]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine [00:00:37]

But that was another place and another time [00:00:47]

Sit out on the front porch [00:00:49]

In the evening when the sun went down [00:00:52]

Willie would play and the kids would sing [00:00:55]

And everybody would mess around [00:00:57]

Daddy'd bring out his guitar [00:01:01]

And play on through the night [00:01:04]

Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say [00:01:07]

"Hey, you play all right" [00:01:09]

Made me feel so good [00:01:13]

I remember the best times of all [00:01:16]

When Saturday came around [00:01:19]

We all would stop by Willie's house and say [00:01:22]

"Do y'all need anything from town?" [00:01:26]

He'd say "No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through? [00:01:28]

And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue" [00:01:34]

And you know that's good [00:01:40]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was [00:01:41]

But that was another place and another time [00:01:50]

Oh, the years rolled past the land [00:02:06]

And took back what they'd given [00:02:08]

We all knew we had to move [00:02:11]

If we were gonna make a living [00:02:15]

So we all moved off [00:02:17]

And went about our separate ways [00:02:20]

It sure was hard to say goodbye [00:02:23]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine [00:02:31]

To willie and laura mae (jones), oh yeah [00:02:34]

But that was another place and another time [00:02:37]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine[00:02:42]
