VERSE
E5
Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbors as long time back
     A5                                     E5
They lived right down the road from us in a shack just like our shack
                                        A5                    E5
We worked in the fields together and we learned to count on each other
                               C5                  D5
When you live off the land you don't have time to think about another man's

CHORUS
    C5                       D5                E5
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
    C5                D5                 E5
But that was another place and another time

VERSE 2
E5
We'd sit out on the front porch in the evening when the sun went down
A5                                              E5
Willie would play and Laura would sing and the chillins would dance around
                                      A5            E5
And I'd bring over my guitar and we'd play into the night
                       C5                          D5              E5
And every now and then Willie would grin and say "Boy you play alright"

And that made me feel so good


CHORUS
    C5                       D5                E5
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
    C5                D5                 E5
But that was another place and another time

VERSE 3
E5
I remember we'd hitch up the mules when Saturday rolled around
     A5                                     E5
We'd always stop by Willie's house and say "Do y'all need anything from town"
                                 A5                    E5
He'd say "No but why don't y'all stop on your way back home
                   A5                   E5
And I'll get Laura Mae to cook up some corn poms"

And you know they're good!


CHORUS
    C5                       D5                E5
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
    C5                D5                 E5
But that was another place and another time

VERSE 4
E5
The years rolled past our land and took back what they'd given
     A5                           E5
And we all knew we'd have to move if we was gonna make a living
                        A5                E5
So we all moved off and went our seperate ways
                        C5              D5                E5
And it sure has hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae


CHORUS
    C5                       D5                E5
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fat
    C5                D5                 E5
But that was another place and another time


VERSE 5
E5
The years rolled past our door and we heard from them no more
A5                                     E5
Till I saw Willie down town the other day
                                 A5
I said y'all stop by tonight and we can sit out and eat a bite
E5                     A5                  E5
We'd love to see your chillins and Laura Mae

BRIDGE
C5                      D5    C5                   D5
He shook his head real slow spoke with his eyes so kind
C5               D5                  E5
This is another place and another time
