Willie And Lauramae Jones Lyrics - Just A Little Lovin' - Shelby Lynne

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 

They worked in land together 

And we learned to count on each other 

When you live off the land you don't have time 

To think about another man's color 

We'd sit out on the front porch 

In the evenin' when the sun go down 

Willie would play and Laura would sing 

And the children would dance around 

I bring over my guitar and we'd play all through the night 

And every now and then 

Willie would grin and say, "Hey you play alright" 

And Lord, that made me feel so good 

The cotton was high and the corn was growin' fine 

But that was another place and another time 

Oh, years rolled past our land 

And it took back what they'd given 

We all knew that we'd have to move 

If we're gonna make a livin' 

So we all took off and went our separate ways 

Sure was hard to say goodbye to Willie and Laura Mae 

The years rolled by our door 

And we heard from them no more 

Until I saw Willie the other day 

I said, "Y'all stop by tonight 

And maybe we can sit down and eat a bite 

We'd sure love to see your children and Laura Mae
