[Verse 1]
[D]Willie and Laura
Mae Jones were our neighbors a long time back
[G]They lived right down the [C]road [G]from [D]us in a shack,
just [C]like our [Am]shack[D]
The people worked the land together,
and [G]we learned to count on each [D]other
When you live off the land [C]you [Bb]don't have the time
to [C]think about another man's [D]coulour
The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine

[Verse 2]
[Bb]But
that was another place [C]and
[D]another [C]time[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]We'd sit out on the front porch in the
evenin' when the sun went down
[G]Willie would play and the kids would sing
[D]and everybody would mess around
And Daddy bring on his guitar,
[G]we'd play all through the [D]night
And every now and then [G]ol' Wil
[Bb]lie would grin and say
[C]'Hey you play al[D]right' (and that[C][G]
[C]made [D]me [G]fee[C]l[D][C][Am][D][Bb]
[C]so [D]good)

[Verse 4]
I remember the [D]best times of all
when Saturday came around
[G]We'd always stop by
Willie's house and say
[D]'Do y'all need anything
from town?'
He'd say 'No, but why don't cha all
[G]stop on your way back [D]through
And I'll get Laura [C]Mae [Bb]to cook[C] us some barbe[D]cue (you[C] know,
[D]they good)'

[Verse 5]
The [G]cotton was high and [C#]the corn [G]was
growin' [D]fine (yes it was)
But [Bb]that was another place
[C]and another time
[D]

[Verse 6]
The years rolled past our land,
and took back what they'd given
[G]We all knew we'd have to [D]move
if we were gonna [A]make a [D]livin'
So we all moved on and [G]went
about our separate [D]ways
Sure it was hard [Bb]to say goodbye to [C]Willie and Laura
[D]Mae [Bb](Jon[C]es),[D] o[G] h yeah[D]

[Verse 7]
The [G]cotton was high and the corn
was growin' fine [D](yes it was)
But [Bb]that was another place
[C]and another time

[Verse 8]
[D]The cotton was high and the corn was growin'
fine (the cotton was growin' fine)
But [Bb]that was another place
[C]and another time

[Outro 1]
[D]
