《Willie And Laura Mae Jones(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Willie And Laura Mae Jones (Live) - Tony Joe White

[00:00:24] Willie and Laura Mae Jones

[00:00:26] Were our neighbors as long time back

[00:00:29] They lived right down the road from us

[00:00:32] In a shack just like our shack

[00:00:36] We worked in the fields together

[00:00:39] And we learned to count on each other

[00:00:41] When you live off the land

[00:00:43] You don't have time to think

[00:00:44] About another man's color

[00:00:48] The cotton was high

[00:00:49] And the corn was growing fine

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

[00:01:00] We sit out on the front porch

[00:01:02] In the evening when the sun went down

[00:01:05] Willie would play and Laura would sing

[00:01:08] And the children would dance around

[00:01:11] And I'd bring over my guitar

[00:01:13] And we'd play into the night

[00:01:16] And every now and then

[00:01:17] Willie would grin and say

[00:01:19] Boy you play all right

[00:01:21] And that made me feel good

[00:01:26] I remember we'd hitch up the mules

[00:01:28] When saturday rolled around

[00:01:31] We'd always stop by Willie's house and say

[00:01:34] Do you'll need anything from town

[00:01:40] He'd say no but why don't you'll

[00:01:42] Stop on your way back home

[00:01:45] And I'll get Laura Mae

[00:01:47] To cook up some corn porns

[00:01:50] And you know they're good

[00:01:53] Lord the cotton was high

[00:01:54] And the corn was so fine

[00:01:59] But that was another place and another time

[00:02:21] The years rolled past our land

[00:02:24] They took back what they'd given

[00:02:27] And we all knew we'd have to move

[00:02:29] If we was gonna make a living

[00:02:32] So we all moved off

[00:02:35] And went our separate ways

[00:02:38] And it sure was hard to say goodbye

[00:02:41] To Willies and Laura Mae

[00:02:43] Jones

[00:02:48] The years rolled past our door

[00:02:50] And I heard from them no more

[00:02:53] Till I saw Willie down town the other day

[00:02:59] I said just stop by tonight

[00:03:02] And we can sit down and eat a bite

[00:03:04] I'd love to see your children and Laura Mae

[00:03:10] But he shooked 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] And the corn was growing fine oh

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

[00:03:32] Oh the cotton was high

[00:03:34] And the corn was so fine

[00:03:38] But that was another place and another time
