《Willie And Laura Mae Jones》歌词

[00:00:01] Willie And Laura Mae Jones - Tony Joe White

[00:00:12] Willie and Laura Mae Jones

[00:00:14] Were our neighbors as long time back

[00:00:18] They lived right down the road from us

[00:00:21] In a shack just like our shack

[00:00:24] We worked in the fields together

[00:00:26] And we learned to count on each other

[00:00:29] When you live off the land

[00:00:31] You don't have time to think

[00:00:33] About another man's color

[00:00:37] The cotton was high

[00:00:38] And the corn was growing fine

[00:00:43] But that was another place and another time

[00:00:52] We sit out on the front porch

[00:00:55] In the evening when the sun went down

[00:00:58] Willie would play and Laura would sing

[00:01:01] And the children would dance around

[00:01:04] And I'd bring over my guitar

[00:01:07] And we'd play into the night

[00:01:10] And every now and then

[00:01:11] Willie would grin and say

[00:01:13] "Boy you play all right"

[00:01:15] And that made me feel so good

[00:01:18] Lord the cotton was high

[00:01:20] And the corn was growing fine

[00:01:25] But that was another place and another time

[00:01:31] I remember we'd hitch up the mules

[00:01:34] When Saturday rolled around

[00:01:37] We'd always stop by Willies house and say

[00:01:40] "Do you'll need anything from town "

[00:01:46] He'd say "No but why don't you'll

[00:01:49] Stop on your way back home

[00:01:52] And I'll get Laura Mae

[00:01:55] To cook up some corn porns "

[00:01:57] You know they're good

[00:01:59] Lord the cotton was high

[00:02:02] And the corn was growing fine

[00:02:07] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:28] The years rolled past our land

[00:02:31] They took back what they'd given

[00:02:34] And we all knew we'd have to move

[00:02:37] If we was gonna make a living

[00:02:40] So we all moved off

[00:02:43] And went our separate ways

[00:02:46] And it sure was hard to say goodbye

[00:02:49] To Willies and Laura Mae Jones

[00:02:54] The cotton was high

[00:02:55] And the corn was growing fine yes it was

[00:03:00] But that was another place and another time

[00:03:09] The years rolled past our door

[00:03:12] And we heard from them no more

[00:03:15] Till I saw Willie down town the other day

[00:03:20] I said "Just stop by tonight

[00:03:24] And we can sit down and eat a bite

[00:03:27] We'd love to see your children and Laura Mae"

[00:03:33] He shook his head real slow

[00:03:36] And spoke with his eyes so can

[00:03:39] This is another place and another time

[00:03:44] Lord the cotton was high

[00:03:46] And the corn was growing fine

[00:03:51] But that was another place and another time

[00:03:56] Lord Lord the cotton was high

[00:03:59] And the corn was growing fine

[00:04:03] But that was another place and another time

[00:04:31] Lord Lord Lord Lord

[00:04:33] The cotton was high

[00:04:34] And the corn was growing fine

[00:04:39] But that was another place and another tim
