Were our neighbours a long time back[00:00:12]

They lived right down the road from us[00:00:18]

In a shack just like our shack[00:00:20]

We worked in the fields together[00:00:23]

And we learned to count on each other[00:00:26]

When you live off the land[00:00:29]

You don't have the time to think about another mans colour[00:00:30]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine[00:00:39]

But that was another place and another time[00:00:42]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:00:45]

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

Sit out on the front porch[00:00:51]

In the evening when the sun went down[00:00:53]

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

And everybody would mess around[00:00:59]

Daddyd bring out his guitar[00:01:03]

And play on through the night[00:01:05]

Every now and then ol willie would grin and say[00:01:08]

Hey you play all right[00:01:11]

Made me feel so good[00:01:14]

I remember willie would hitch the mules up[00:01:16]

When sandy rolled around[00:01:18]

We all would stop by willies house and say[00:01:20]

Do yall need anything from town[00:01:23]

Hed say no but why don't yall stop on the way back home[00:01:28]

And I'll get laura mae yeah to cook up some corn bone[00:01:34]

And you know that's good[00:01:38]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:01:40]

But that was another place and another time[00:01:45]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:01:49]

But that was another place and another time[00:01:55]

Oh the years rolled past the land[00:02:17]

And took back what theyd given[00:02:20]

We all knew we had to move[00:02:23]

If I was gonna make a living[00:02:26]

So we all moved off[00:02:29]

And went about our separate ways[00:02:31]

It sure was hard to say goodbye[00:02:35]

To willie and laura mae[00:02:37]

Jones y'all[00:02:40]

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

But that was another place and another time[00:02:48]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:02:52]

But that was another place and another time[00:02:59]

The years roll passed our door and we heard from them no more[00:03:06]

'til I saw willie down town the other day[00:03:12]

I said y'all stop by tonight we can sit down and eat a bite[00:03:16]

We'd love to see your children and laura mae[00:03:22]

He shook real stoic[00:03:27]

And spoke with his eyes so kind[00:03:30]

He said this was another place and another time[00:03:33]

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:03:38]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:53]
