Willie and Laura Mae Jones

Were our neighbours a long time back

They lived right down the road from us

In a shack just like our shack

The people worked the land together

And we learned to count on each other

When you

Live off the land

You don't have the time to think

About another mans colour

The cotton was high and the

Corn was growing fine

But that was another place

And another time

Sit out on the front porch

In the evening when the sun went down

Willie would play and Laura would sing

And the children would dance around

And I'd bring over my guitar

Play on frou the night

Even now and then

Willie would grin and say

Hi you play all right

That made me feel so good

I remember the best times of all

When saturday came around

We all would stop by Willie's

House and say

Do yall need anything from town

He'd say no but why don't

Yall stop on the way back through

And I'll get Laura Mae yeah

To cook up some barbecue

And you know that's good

The cotton was high and the

Corn was growing fine

But that was another place

And another time

Oh the years rolled past the land

And took back what theyd given

We all knew we had to move

If we were gonna make a living

So we all moved off

And went about our

Separate ways

It sure was hard to say goodbye

To Willie and Laura Mae oh yeah

The cotton was high and the corn

Was growing fine

But that was another place

And another time

But that was another place

And another time
