Composed by：Tony Joe White

1 2 go

Willie and Laura Mae Jones

Were our neighbors a long time back

They lived right down the road from us

In a shack just like our shack

The worked land together

And we learned to count on each other

When you live off the land

You don't have the time to think about another mans color

Sit out on the front porch

In the evening when the sun went down

Willie would play and the kids would sing

And children dance around

Daddy'd 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

Lord made me feel so good

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine

But that was another place and another time

Oh the years rolled past the land

And took back what they'd 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

Oh the years rolled past the land

And we took for man no more

Till I saw Wille the other way

I said yesterday by our head

Baby we can sit down and

So look good yes it did
