《San Francisco Mabel Joy》歌词

[00:00:00] San Francisco Mabel Joy - Waylon Jennings

[00:00:04] His daddy was an honest man a red dirt Georgia farmer

[00:00:12] His mama lived her young life having kids and bailing hay

[00:00:21] He had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander

[00:00:31] Jumped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L A

[00:00:39] The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross Georgia farm boy

[00:00:48] Most days he went hungry then the summer came

[00:00:57] He met a girl known on the Strip as San Francisco's Mabel Joy

[00:01:06] Destitution's child born on an L A street called Shame

[00:01:15] Growing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel Joy

[00:01:24] Laughter found the mornings that brought the meaning to his life

[00:01:31] Night before she left sleep came and found that Waycross country boy

[00:01:40] With dreams of Georgia cotton and a California wife

[00:01:49] Sunday morning found him 'neath the red light at her door

[00:01:58] A right cross sent him reelin' and put him face down on the floor

[00:02:06] In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine

[00:02:15] He said "Your Georgia neck is red but Sonny you're still green"

[00:02:27] He turned twenty one in a gray rock Federal prison

[00:02:35] The judge had no mercy on this Waycross Georgia boy

[00:02:44] Starin' at those four gray walls in silence Lord he'd listen

[00:02:51] To the midnight freight he knew could take him back to Mabel Joy

[00:03:02] Sunday morning found him 'neath the red light at her door with a bullet

[00:03:11] In his side he cried "Have you seen Mabel Joy " stunned and shaken

[00:03:19] Someone said "She don't live here no more she left this house

[00:03:28] Four years ago she was lookin' for some Georgia farm boy"
