What Are The Lyrics For Willie and Laura Mae Jones By Brook Benton?
Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbors 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 don't have the time to think about another man's coulour The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine But that was another place and another time We'd sit out on the front porch in the evenin' when the sun went down Willie would play and the kids would sing and everybody would mess around And Daddy bring on his guitar, we'd play all through the night And every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say 'Hey you play alright' (and that made me feel so good) I remember the best times of all when Saturday came around We'd always stop by Willie's house and say 'Do y'all need anything from town?' He'd say 'No, but why don't cha all stop on your way back through And I'll get Laura Mae to cook us some barbecue (you know, they good)' The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (yes it was) But that was another place and another time The years rolled past our land, and took back what they'd given We all knew we'd have to move if we were gonna make a livin' So we all moved on and went about our separate ways Sure it was hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae (Jones), oh yeah The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (yes it was) But that was another place and another time The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine (the cotton was growin' fine) But that was another place and another time |
