《Willie And Laura Mae Jones》歌词

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

[00:00:18] Willie and laura mae jones

[00:00:20] Were our neighbors as long time back

[00:00:23] They lived right down the road from us

[00:00:26] In a shack just like our shack

[00:00:28] We worked in the fields together

[00:00:31] And we learned to count on each other

[00:00:34] When you live off the land

[00:00:35] You don't have time to think

[00:00:37] About another man's color

[00:00:41] The cotton was high

[00:00:42] And the corn was growing fine

[00:00:46] But that was another place and another time

[00:00:54] We sit out on the front porch

[00:00:56] In the evening when the sun went down

[00:00:59] Willie would play and laura would sing

[00:01:02] And the children would dance around

[00:01:05] 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

[00:01:12] Boy you play all right

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

[00:01:22] I remember we'd hitch up the mules

[00:01:25] When saturday rolled around

[00:01:27] We'd always stop by willies house and say

[00:01:30] Do you'll need anything from town

[00:01:35] He'd say no but why don't you'll

[00:01:38] Stop on your way back home

[00:01:41] And i'll get laura mae

[00:01:43] To cook up some corn porns

[00:01:45] You know they're good

[00:01:49] The cotton was high

[00:01:50] And the corn was growing fine

[00:01:54] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:11] The years rolled past our land

[00:02:13] They took back what they'd given

[00:02:16] And we all knew we'd have to move

[00:02:18] If we was gonna make a living

[00:02:21] So we all moved off

[00:02:24] And went our separate ways

[00:02:26] And it sure was hard to say goodbye

[00:02:29] To willies and laura mae jones

[00:02:36] The cotton was high

[00:02:37] And the corn was growing fine yes it was

[00:02:41] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:49] The years rolled past our door

[00:02:52] And we heard from them no more

[00:02:55] Till i saw willie down town the other day

[00:03:00] I said just stop by tonight

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

[00:03:05] We'd love to see your children and laura mae

[00:03:11] He shook his head real slow

[00:03:13] And spoke with his eyes so can

[00:03:16] This is another place and another time

[00:03:21] The cotton was high

[00:03:23] The corn was growing fine

[00:03:27] But that was another place and another time
