Willie & Laura Mae JonesWere our neighbours a long time backThey lived right down the road from usIn a shack just like our shackThe people worked the land togetherAnd we learned to count on each otherWhen you live off the landYou don't have the time to think about another man's colourThe cotton was high and the corn was growing fineBut that was another place and another timeSit out on the front porchIn the evening when the sun went downWillie would play and the kids would singAnd everybody would mess aroundDaddy'd bring out his guitarAnd play on through the nightEvery now and then ol' Willie would grin and say"Hey, you play all right"Made me feel so goodI remember the best times of allWhen Saturday came aroundWe all would stop by Willie's house and sayLetras de canciones"Do y'all need anything from town?"He'd say "No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through?And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue"And you know that's goodThe cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it wasBut that was another place and another timeOh, the years rolled past the landAnd took back what they'd givenWe all knew we had to moveIf we were gonna make a livingSo we all moved offAnd went about our separate waysIt sure was hard to say goodbyeTo Willie and Laura Mae (Jones), oh yeahThe cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it wasBut that was another place and another timeI remember so wellThe cotton looked so fineBut that was another place and another timeAnd it felt so good, yes it did From Letras Mania
