[00:00:00] San Francisco Mabel Joy - Kenny Rogers (肯尼·罗杰斯)

[00:00:01] Written by：Mickey Newbury

[00:00:08] His daddy was an honest man red dirt Georgia farmer

[00:00:16] His mama lived her short life having kids and baling hay

[00:00:25] He had fifteen years an ache inside to wander

[00:00:32] He hopped a freight in way cross wound up in LA

[00:00:41] Lord the cold nights had no pity on a way cross Georgia farm boy

[00:00:49] Most days he went hungry then the summer came

[00:00:58] He met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Mabel joy

[00:01:05] Destitution's child born of an LA street called shame

[00:01:14] Growing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel joy

[00:01:22] Laughter found their mornings brought a meaning to his life

[00:01:31] Yes the night before she left sleep came and left that way cross

[00:01:37] Country boy with dreams of Georgia cotton and a California wife

[00:01:47] Sunday morning found him standing 'neath the red light of her door

[00:01:55] When a right cross sent him reeling put him face down on the floor

[00:02:04] In place of Mabel joy he found a merchant mad marine

[00:02:12] He growled that Georgia neck is red but sonny your still green

[00:02:22] He turned twenty one in a gray rock federal prison

[00:02:29] The old judge had no mercy for a way cross Georgia boy

[00:02:38] Starin' at those four gray wall

[00:02:42] In silence he would listen

[00:02:45] That midnight freight he knew would take him back to Mabel joy

[00:02:55] Sunday morning found him lyin' 'neath the red light of her door

[00:03:02] With a bullet in his side he cried have you seen Mabel joy

[00:03:12] Stunned and shaken someone said she's not here no more

[00:03:19] She left this house four years today

[00:03:23] They say she's looking for some Georgia farm boy
