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

Willie and Laura Mae Jones[00:00:12]

Were our neighbors as long time back[00:00:14]

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

In a shack just like our shack[00:00:21]

We worked in the fields together[00:00:24]

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

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

You don't have time to think[00:00:31]

About another man's color[00:00:33]

The cotton was high[00:00:37]

And the corn was growing fine[00:00:38]

But that was another place and another time[00:00:43]

We sit out on the front porch[00:00:52]

In the evening when the sun went down[00:00:55]

Willie would play and Laura would sing[00:00:58]

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

And I'd bring over my guitar[00:01:04]

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"[00:01:13]

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

Lord the cotton was high[00:01:18]

And the corn was growing fine[00:01:20]

But that was another place and another time[00:01:25]

I remember we'd hitch up the mules[00:01:31]

When Saturday rolled around[00:01:34]

We'd always stop by Willies house and say[00:01:37]

"Do you'll need anything from town "[00:01:40]

He'd say "No but why don't you'll[00:01:46]

Stop on your way back home[00:01:49]

And I'll get Laura Mae[00:01:52]

To cook up some corn porns "[00:01:55]

You know they're good[00:01:57]

Lord the cotton was high[00:01:59]

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

But that was another place and another time[00:02:07]

The years rolled past our land[00:02:28]

They took back what they'd given[00:02:31]

And we all knew we'd have to move[00:02:34]

If we was gonna make a living[00:02:37]

So we all moved off[00:02:40]

And went our separate ways[00:02:43]

And it sure was hard to say goodbye[00:02:46]

To Willies and Laura Mae Jones[00:02:49]

The cotton was high[00:02:54]

And the corn was growing fine yes it was[00:02:55]

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

The years rolled past our door[00:03:09]

And we heard from them no more[00:03:12]

Till I saw Willie down town the other day[00:03:15]

I said "Just stop by tonight[00:03:20]

And we can sit down and eat a bite[00:03:24]

We'd love to see your children and Laura Mae"[00:03:27]

He shook his head real slow[00:03:33]

And spoke with his eyes so can[00:03:36]

This is another place and another time[00:03:39]

Lord the cotton was high[00:03:44]

And the corn was growing fine[00:03:46]

But that was another place and another time[00:03:51]

Lord Lord the cotton was high[00:03:56]

And the corn was growing fine[00:03:59]

But that was another place and another time[00:04:03]

Lord Lord Lord Lord[00:04:31]

The cotton was high[00:04:33]

And the corn was growing fine[00:04:34]

But that was another place and another tim[00:04:39]
