  • (tony joe white)
  • Willie & 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 dont 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 the kids would sing
  • And everybody would mess around
  • Daddyd bring out his guitar
  • And play on through the night
  • Every now and then ol willie would grin and say
  • Hey, you play all right
  • Made me feel so good
  • I remember the best times of all
  • When saturday came around
  • We all would stop by willies house and say
  • Do yall need anything from town?
  • Hed say no, but why dont yall stop on the way back through?
  • And Ill get laura mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue
  • And you know thats good
  • The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
  • 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 (jones), oh yeah
  • The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
  • But that was another place and another time
  • I remember so well
  • The cotton looked so fine
  • But that was another place and another time
  • And it felt so good, yes it did
