Willie and 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 don't have the time to think about another man's colour.

Вилли и Лора Мэй Джонс Много лет назад были нашими соседями. Они жили вниз по дороге от нас В такой же хижине, как и наша. Люди обрабатывали землю вместе, И мы научились рассчитывать друг на друга. Когда живёшь от земли, У тебя нет времени думать о цвете кожи других людей.

The cotton was high and the corn was growing fine. But that was another place and another time.

Хлопок был высоким, и кукуруза росла отлично. Но то было другое место и другое время.

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. 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", Made me feel so good.

Сидя на крыльце Вечером, когда солнце спускается, Вилли играл, а дети пели, И все валяли дурака. Папа выносил свою гитару И играл весь вечер. Всякий раз, когда старый Вилли усмехался и говорил: «Эй, ты здорово играешь», У меня поднималось настроение.

I remember the best times of all. When Saturday came around, We all would stop by Willie's house and say, "Do y'all need anything from town?" He'd say, "No, but why don't y'all stop on the way back through? And I'll get Laura Mae, yeah, to cook up some barbecue." And you know that's good.

Я помню те времена, самые лучшие. Когда наступала суббота, Мы все останавливались у дома Вилли и говорили: «Вам нужно что-нибудь из города?» Он говорил: «Нет, но почему бы вам всем не зайти на обратном пути? А я скажу Лоре Мэй, чтобы приготовила барбекю». И знаете, было здорово!

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 (Jones), oh yeah.

Годы прокатились по земле И забрали то, что они дали. Мы все знали, что придётся переехать, Если мы хотим зарабатывать на жизнь. Так что мы все двинулись, И каждый пошёл своим путём. Конечно тяжело было прощаться С Вилли и Лорой Мэй (Джонс), о да.

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 was high and the corn was growing fine) The cotton looked so fine. (But that was another place and another time) And it felt so good, yes it did.

Хлопок был высоким, и кукуруза росла отлично, да. Но то было другое место и другое время. Я прекрасно помню. (Хлопок был высоким, и кукуруза росла отлично) Хлопок так здорово выглядел. (Но то было другое место и другое время) И такое было замечательное настроение, да.
