Willie And Laura Mae Jones (LP版) - Brook Benton (布鲁克·本顿)[00:00:00]

Willie and Laura Mae Jones[00:00:07]

Were our neighbors as long time back[00:00:10]

They lived right down the road from us[00:00:13]

In a shack just like our shack[00:00:17]

We worked in the fields together[00:00:20]

We have learned to count on each other[00:00:22]

And when you live off the land[00:00:25]

You don't have time to think[00:00:27]

About another man's color[00:00:29]

The cotton was high[00:00:33]

And the corn was growing fine[00:00:34]

Fine[00:00:38]

But that was another place[00:00:39]

And another time[00:00:41]

Another time[00:00:43]

We sit out on the front porch[00:00:48]

In the evening when the sun went down[00:00:51]

And little Willie would play and Laura would sing[00:00:54]

And the children would dance around[00:00:57]

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

And we'd play into the night[00:01:03]

And every now and then[00:01:06]

Willie would grin and say[00:01:07]

Bro you should play all right[00:01:09]

And that made me feel good[00:01:11]

Yes sir the cotton was high[00:01:13]

And the corn was growing fine[00:01:15]

But that was another place[00:01:19]

And another time[00:01:22]

I remember we'd hitch up the mules[00:01:29]

When saturday rolled around[00:01:31]

We'd always stop by Willies house and say[00:01:34]

Do you'll need anything from town[00:01:37]

He'd say no but why don't you'll[00:01:43]

Stop on your way back home[00:01:45]

And I'll get Laura Mae[00:01:49]

To cook up some corn porns[00:01:51]

You know they're good[00:01:53]

Lord the cotton was high[00:01:54]

And the corn was growing fine[00:01:56]

Go to the work[00:01:59]

But that was another place[00:02:01]

And another time[00:02:03]

The years rolled past our land[00:02:10]

And took back what they'd given[00:02:12]

And we all knew we'd have to move on[00:02:15]

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[00:02:27]

To Willies and Laura Mae[00:02:30]

Yes sir the cotton was high[00:02:34]

And the corn was growing fine[00:02:36]

The corn was growing fine[00:02:38]

Yes it was[00:02:40]

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

Another place and another time[00:02:44]

The years rolled past our door[00:02:55]

And we heard from them no more[00:02:58]

Till I saw Willie down town the other day[00:03:01]

I said just stop by tonight[00:03:07]

And we can sit down and have a little bite[00:03:10]

I would love to see your children and Laura Mae[00:03:13]

He shook his head real slow[00:03:19]

Slow[00:03:21]

He spoke with his eyes so can[00:03:22]

Is it[00:03:24]

This is another place and another time[00:03:25]

And another time[00:03:28]

Lord the cotton was high[00:03:29]

And the corn was growing fine[00:03:32]

The corn was growing fine[00:03:34]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:36]

Another place and another time[00:03:40]

I see the cotton was high[00:03:42]

And the corn was growing fine[00:03:43]

The corn was growing fine[00:03:45]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:48]

Another place and another time[00:03:51]
