Letra
Willie & laura mae jones
Were our neighbours a long time back
They lived right down the road from us
In a shack just like our shack
The people worked the land together
And we learned to count on each other
When you live off the land
You dont have the time to think about another mans colour
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
But that was another place and another time
Sit out on the front porch
In the evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and the kids would sing
And everybody would mess around
Daddyd bring out his guitar
And play on through the night
Every now and then ol willie would grin and say
Hey, you play all right
Made me feel so good
I remember the best times of all
When saturday came around
We all would stop by willies house and say
Do yall need anything from town?
Hed say no, but why dont yall stop on the way back through?
And Ill get laura mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue
And you know thats good
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
Oh, the years rolled past the land
And took back what theyd given
We all knew we had to move
If we were gonna make a living
So we all moved off
And went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye
To willie and laura mae (jones), oh yeah
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine, yes it was
But that was another place and another time
I remember so well
The cotton looked so fine
But that was another place and another time
Tradução da letra
Willie & laura mae jones
Eram os nossos vizinhos há muito tempo
Eles viviam mesmo ao fundo da nossa rua.
Numa barraca como a nossa barraca
As pessoas trabalhavam a terra juntas.
E aprendemos a contar um com o outro
Quando vives da terra
Não tens tempo para pensar na cor de outro homem.
O algodão era alto e o milho estava crescendo bem.
Mas era outro lugar e outro tempo.
Senta-te no alpendre da frente.
À noite, quando o sol se pôs
Willie tocava e as crianças cantavam
And everybody would message around
Papá, traz a guitarra.
And play on through the night
De vez em quando o willie sorria E dizia:
Tu jogas bem.
Fez-me sentir tão bem
Lembro-me dos melhores momentos de todos
Quando o sábado chegou
Todos nós passávamos pela Casa dos willies e dizíamos:
Precisam de alguma coisa da cidade?
Ele disse que não, mas porque não param no caminho de volta?
E vou pedir à laura mae para fazer um churrasco.
E sabes que isso é bom.
O algodão era alto e o milho estava crescendo bem, sim era
Mas era outro lugar e outro tempo.
Oh, os anos passaram pela terra
E retomaram o que haviam prometido.
Todos sabíamos que tínhamos de nos mudar.
Se vamos ganhar a vida
Por isso, todos nos mudámos.
And went about our separate ways
Foi difícil dizer adeus.
Ao willie e à laura mae (jones), oh sim
O algodão era alto e o milho estava crescendo bem, sim era
Mas era outro lugar e outro tempo.
Lembro-me tão bem.
O algodão parecia tão bom.
Mas era outro lugar e outro tempo.
