    Verse 1
    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 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 
    coulour 

    The cotton 
    was high and 
    the corn 
    was growin' 
    fine 

    Verse 2
    But 

    that 
    was another 
    place 
    and 

    another 
    time 

    Verse 3
    We'd sit 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    front 
    porch 
    in 
    the 

    evenin' 
    when 
    the 
    sun 
    went 
    down 

    Willie 
    would 
    play 
    and 
    the kids 
    would sing 

    and 
    everybody 
    would 
    mess 
    around 

    And 
    Daddy 
    bring 
    on his 
    guitar, 

    we'd 
    play 
    all 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    And 
    every 
    now 
    and 
    then 
    ol' 
    Wil

    lie 
    would 
    grin 
    and 
    say 

    'Hey 
    you 
    play 
    al
    right' (and that 

    made 
    me 
    feel 

    so 
    good) 

    Verse 4
    I 
    remember 
    the 
    best 
    times 
    of all 

    when 
    Saturday 
    came 
    around 

    We'd 
    always 
    stop 
    by 

    Willie's 
    house 
    and 
    say 

    'Do 
    y'all 
    need 
    anything 

    from 
    town?' 

    He'd say 
    'No, 
    but 
    why 
    don't 
    cha all 

    stop 
    on 
    your 
    way 
    back 
    through 

    And 
    I'll 
    get 
    Laura 
    Mae 
    to 
    cook 
    us 
    some 
    barbecue 
    (you know, 

    they 
    good)' 

    Verse 5
    The 
    cotton 
    was 
    high 
    and 
    the corn 
    was 

    growin' 
    fine 
    (yes it was) 

    But 
    that 
    was 
    another 
    place 

    and 
    another 
    time 

    Verse 6

    The 
    years 
    rolled 
    past 
    our 
    land, 

    and 
    took 
    back 
    what 
    they'd 
    given 

    We 
    all 
    knew 
    we'd 
    have 
    to 
    move 

    if 
    we 
    were 
    gonna 
    make 
    a 
    livin' 

    So 
    we 
    all 
    moved 
    on 
    and 
    went 

    about 
    our 
    separate 
    ways 

    Sure 
    it 
    was 
    hard 
    to say 
    goodbye 
    to 
    Willie 
    and 
    Laura 

    Mae 
    (Jones), o
    h 
    yeah 

    Verse 7
    The 
    cotton 
    was 
    high 
    and 
    the 
    corn 

    was 
    growin' 
    fine 
    (yes it 
    was) 

    But 
    that 
    was 
    another 
    place 

    and 
    another 
    time 

    Verse 8
    The 
    cotton was 
    high and 
    the corn 
    was 
    growin' 

    fine (the cotton 
    was 
    growin' 
    fine) 

    But 
    that 
    was 
    another 
    place 

    and 
    another 
    time

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
