《San Francisco Mabel Joy》歌词

[00:00:00] Oh

[00:00:00] His daddy was an honest man

[00:00:08] Red dirt

[00:00:09] Georgia farmer

[00:00:13] His mama lived her short life

[00:00:18] Havin' kids and balin' hay

[00:00:28] He had fifteen years

[00:00:32] And an ache inside to wander

[00:00:39] Hopped a freight in waycross

[00:00:44] Wound up in l

[00:00:52] A

[00:00:52] Oh

[00:00:53] The cold nights had no pity

[00:00:57] On that waycross

[00:00:59] Georgia farm boy

[00:01:04] Most days he went hungry

[00:01:10] Then the summer came

[00:01:18] He met a girl known on the strip

[00:01:23] As san francisco mabel joy

[00:01:29] Destitution's child

[00:01:34] Born on an l

[00:01:35] A

[00:01:35] Street called shame

[00:01:43] Growing up came quietly

[00:01:48] In the arms of mabel joy

[00:01:57] And laughter found their mornings

[00:02:01] It brought a meaning to his life

[00:02:09] On the night before she left

[00:02:13] Sleep came

[00:02:15] Left that waycross country boy

[00:02:20] With dreams of georgia cotton

[00:02:26] And a california wife

[00:02:34] Sunday mornin' found him standin' 'neath

[00:02:39] The red light at her door

[00:02:53] When a right cross sent him reelin'

[00:02:58] Put him face down on the floor

[00:03:01] Lord

[00:03:06] In place of mabel joy he found

[00:03:10] A merchant man marine

[00:03:19] Who growled

[00:03:20] Your georgia neck is red

[00:03:25] But

[00:03:26] Sonny

[00:03:26] You're still green

[00:03:35] He turned twenty one

[00:03:40] In a gray rock federal prison

[00:03:46] Ol' judge had no mercy

[00:03:51] On that waycross

[00:03:53] Georgia boy

[00:04:02] Starin' at those four gray walls

[00:04:07] In silence he would listen

[00:04:15] To that midnight freight

[00:04:17] He knew could take him back to mabel joy

[00:04:29] Sunday mornin' found him lyin' 'neath

[00:04:35] The red light at her door

[00:04:44] With a bullet in his side he cried

[00:04:50] Have you seen mabel joy

[00:04:58] Stunned and shaken

[00:05:00] Someone said

[00:05:02] Son

[00:05:03] She don't live here no more

[00:05:09] No

[00:05:11] She left this house four years today

[00:05:18] They say she's looking for some georgia farm boy
