VERSE
E
Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbors as long time back
A7 E
They lived right down the road from us in a shack just like our shack
A7 E
We worked in the fields together and we learned to count on each other

When you live off the land you don’t have time to think about another man’s

VERSE 2
E
We’d sit out on the front porch in the evening when the sun went down
A7 E
Willie would play and Laura would sing and the chillins would dance around
A7 E
And I’d bring over my guitar and we’d play into the night
C D E
And every now and then Willie would grin and say “Boy you play alright”
And that made me feel so good
CHORUS
C D E
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
C D E
But that was another place and another time
FILL
VERSE 3
E
I remember we’d hitch up the mules when Saturday rolled around
A7 E
We’d always stop by Willie’s house and say “Do y’all need anything from town”
A7 E
He’d say “No but why don’t y’all stop on your way back home
A E
And I’ll get Laura Mae to cook up some corn poms”
And you know they’re good!
CHORUS
C D E
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
C D E
But that was another place and another time
PLAY INTRO
VERSE 4
E
The years rolled past our land and took back what they’d given
A7 E
And we all knew we’d have to move if we was gonna make a living
A7 E
So we all moved off and went our seperate ways
C D E
And it sure has hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae
CHORUS
C D E
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
C D E
But that was another place and another time
VERSE 5
E
The years rolled past our door and we heard from them no more
A7 E
Till I saw Willie down town the other day
A7
I said y’all stop by tonight and we can sit out and eat a bite
E A E
We’d love to see your chillins and Laura Mae

This is another place and another time
