WILLIE AND LAURA MAE JONES
(Tony Joe White)
« © '71 Combine Music, BMI »
Willie and Laura Mae Jones were our neighbours a long time back
They lived down the road from us in a shack just like our shack
We worked the fields together learned to count on each other
When you live off the land you ain't got time to think of another man's color
The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine
That was another place and another time
Sit out on the front porch every evening when the sun went down
Willie would play and Laura would sing and them younguns'd dance around
I'd bring out my guitar and we'd play on through the night
Every now and then ol' Willie would grin and say boy you play all right
The cotton was high...
The years rolled past our land and took back what they'd given
We all knew we'd had to move if we were gonna make a livin'
So we all moved off and went about our separate ways
It sure was hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae
The cotton was high...
The years rolled past our doors and we heard of them no more
When I saw Willie downtown the other day
Said y'all stop right by now we could all sit down and eat by
Sure love to see your children and Laura Mae
Shook his head real slow and his eyes were kind
This is another place and another time
The cotton was high...

Waylon Arnold Jennings (1937-2002) è stato un leggendario cantante e chitarrista statunitense, considerato uno dei pionieri del movimento outlaw country. Nato in Texas, Jennings iniziò la sua carriera negli anni '50 come musicista di supporto per diversi artisti country. Nel 1964 ottenne il suo primo successo con "Only Daddy That'll Walk the Line". Nel corso degli anni '70, Jennings si affermò come figura chiave dell'outlaw country, un movimento che rifiutava le convenzioni del Nashville Sound e abbracciava uno stile più rock e indipendente. Collaborò con artisti come Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson e Johnny Cash, formando il gruppo di super-star noto come "The Highwaymen". I suoi album più importanti includono "Honky Tonk Heroes", "Lonesome, On'ry and Mean" e "Wanted! The Outlaws". Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys", "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)" e "Good Hearted Woman". Jennings è stato un artista influente che ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella storia della musica country.
