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 ea^Ech 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 FILL e---------------| B---------------| G--2(b)---------| D-----2---------| A---------------| E---------------| 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 c^Ehillins 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 al^Eright" 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!
