[00:00.000]Willie And Laura Mae Jones (Live) - Tony Joe White
[00:24.067]Willie and Laura Mae Jones
[00:26.450]Were our neighbors as long time back
[00:29.450]They lived right down the road from us
[00:32.011]In a shack just like our shack
[00:36.413]We worked in the fields together
[00:39.059]And we learned to count on each other
[00:41.582]When you live off the land
[00:43.237]You don't have time to think
[00:44.895]About another man's color
[00:48.813]The cotton was high
[00:49.942]And the corn was growing fine
[00:54.456]But that was another place and another time
[01:00.027]We sit out on the front porch
[01:02.382]In the evening when the sun went down
[01:05.737]Willie would play and Laura would sing
[01:08.030]And the children would dance around
[01:11.102]And I'd bring over my guitar
[01:13.389]And we'd play into the night
[01:16.227]And every now and then
[01:17.860]Willie would grin and say
[01:19.293]Boy you play all right
[01:21.707]And that made me feel good
[01:26.178]I remember we'd hitch up the mules
[01:28.804]When saturday rolled around
[01:31.710]We'd always stop by Willie's house and say
[01:34.526]Do you'll need anything from town
[01:40.038]He'd say no but why don't you'll
[01:42.649]Stop on your way back home
[01:45.627]And I'll get Laura Mae
[01:47.640]To cook up some corn porns
[01:50.167]And you know they're good
[01:53.304]Lord the cotton was high
[01:54.855]And the corn was so fine
[01:59.395]But that was another place and another time
[02:21.858]The years rolled past our land
[02:24.474]They took back what they'd given
[02:27.258]And we all knew we'd have to move
[02:29.865]If we was gonna make a living
[02:32.921]So we all moved off
[02:35.694]And went our separate ways
[02:38.262]And it sure was hard to say goodbye
[02:41.102]To Willies and Laura Mae
[02:43.846]Jones
[02:48.167]The years rolled past our door
[02:50.882]And I heard from them no more
[02:53.697]Till I saw Willie down town the other day
[02:59.005]I said just stop by tonight
[03:02.118]And we can sit down and eat a bite
[03:04.982]I'd love to see your children and Laura Mae
[03:10.453]But he shooked his head real slow
[03:13.355]And spoke with his eyes so can
[03:16.471]This is another place and another time
[03:21.906]The cotton was high
[03:23.022]And the corn was growing fine oh
[03:27.672]But that was another place and another time
[03:32.451]Oh the cotton was high
[03:34.182]And the corn was so fine
[03:38.640]But that was another place and another time
