1
Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbors a long time back
2
They lived right down the road from us in a shack, just like our shack
3
The people worked the land together, and we learned to count on each other
4
When you live off the land you don't have the time to think about another man's coulour
5
The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine
6
But that was another place and another time
7
We'd sit out on the front porch in the evenin' when the sun went down
8
Willie would play and the kids would sing and everybody would mess around
9
And Daddy bring on his guitar, we'd play all through the night
10
And every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say
11
'Hey you play alright' (and that made me feel so good)
12
I remember the best times of all when Saturday came around
13
We'd always stop by Willie's house and say
14
'Do y'all need anything from town?'
15
He'd say 'No, but why don't cha all stop on your way back through
16
And I'll get Laura Mae to cook us some barbecue (you know, they good)'
17
The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (yes it was)
18
But that was another place and another time
19
The years rolled past our land, and took back what they'd given
20
We all knew we'd have to move if we were gonna make a livin'
21
So we all moved on and went about our separate ways
22
Sure it was hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae (Jones), oh yeah
23
The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (yes it was)
24
But that was another place and another time
25
The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (the cotton was growin' fine)
26
But that was another place and another time
