Intro

D E

Verse

EWillie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbors as long time back

They A7lived right down the road from us in a Eshack just like our shack

We worked in the fields together and we A7learned to count on eaEch other

When you live off the land you Cdon't have time to Dthink about another man's

Ecolour

Chorus

The Ccotton was high and the Dcorn was growing Efat

But Cthat was another Dplace and another Etime

Verse 2

EWe'd sit out on the front porch in the evening when the sun went down

A7Willie would play and Laura would sing and the cEhillins would dance around

And I'd bring over my guitar and we'd A7play into the Enight

And every now and then CWillie would grin and say "DBoy you play alEright"

And that made me feel so good

Chorus

The Ccotton was high and the Dcorn was growing Efat

But Cthat was another Dplace and another Etime

FILL

Verse 3

EI remember we'd hitch up the mules when Saturday rolled around

We'd A7always stop by Willie's house and say "EDo y'all need anything from town"

He'd say "No but why don't y'all A7stop on your way back Ehome

And I'll get Laura AMae to cook up some Ecorn poms"

And you know they're good!

Chorus

The Ccotton was high and the Dcorn was growing Efat

But Cthat was another Dplace and another Etime

PLAY INTRO

Verse 4

EThe years rolled past our land and took back what they'd given

And wA7e all knew we'd have to move Eif we was gonna make a living

So we all moved off and A7went our seperate Eways

And it sure has hard to Csay goodbye to DWillie and Laura EMae

Chorus

The Ccotton was high and the Dcorn was growing Efat

But Cthat was another Dplace and another Etime

Verse 5

EThe years rolled past our door and we heard from them no more

A7Till I saw Willie down town the other dEay

I said y'all stop by tonight and A7we can sit out and eat a bite

EWe'd love to see your Achillins and Laura EMae
