《Willie And Laura Mae Jones》歌词

[00:00:15] Willie & Laura Mae Jones

[00:00:18] Were our neighbours a long time back

[00:00:20] They lived right down the road from us

[00:00:24] In a shack just like our shack

[00:00:26] The people worked the land together

[00:00:29] And we learned to count on each other

[00:00:31] When you live off the land

[00:00:34] You don't have the time to think about another man's colour

[00:00:37] The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine

[00:00:47] But that was another place and another time

[00:00:49] Sit out on the front porch

[00:00:52] In the evening when the sun went down

[00:00:55] Willie would play and the kids would sing

[00:00:57] And everybody would mess around

[00:01:01] Daddy'd bring out his guitar

[00:01:04] And play on through the night

[00:01:07] Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say

[00:01:09] "Hey, you play all right"

[00:01:13] Made me feel so good

[00:01:16] I remember the best times of all

[00:01:19] When Saturday came around

[00:01:22] We all would stop by Willie's house and say

[00:01:26] "Do y'all need anything from town?"

[00:01:28] He'd say "No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through?

[00:01:34] And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue"

[00:01:40] And you know that's good

[00:01:41] The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was

[00:01:50] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:06] Oh, the years rolled past the land

[00:02:08] And took back what they'd given

[00:02:11] We all knew we had to move

[00:02:15] If we were gonna make a living

[00:02:17] So we all moved off

[00:02:20] And went about our separate ways

[00:02:23] It sure was hard to say goodbye

[00:02:31] The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine

[00:02:34] To willie and laura mae (jones), oh yeah

[00:02:37] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:42] The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
