San Francisco Mabel Joy (Remaster) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)[00:00:00]

Written by：Mickey Newbury[00:00:01]

His daddy was an honest man just a red dirt Georgia farmer[00:00:09]

His mother lived her short life having kids and baling hay[00:00:17]

He had fifteen years and he ached inside to wander[00:00:28]

So he jumped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L.A.[00:00:36]

The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross Georgia farm boy[00:00:47]

Most days he went hungry then the summer came[00:00:55]

He met a girl known on the Strip as San Francisco's Mabel Joy[00:01:05]

Destitution's child born of an L.A. street called shame[00:01:14]

Growing up came easy in the arms of Mabel Joy[00:01:24]

L.A.ughter found their mornings brought a meaning to his life[00:01:32]

Yes the night before she left sleep came and gave that Waycross country boy[00:01:41]

A dream of Georgia cotton and a California wife[00:01:49]

Sunday morning found him standing 'neath the red light at her door[00:01:58]

When a right cross sent him reeling put him face down on the floor[00:02:07]

In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine[00:02:16]

Who growled Your Georgia neck is red aw but sonny you're still green[00:02:24]

He turned twenty-one in a gray rock federal prison[00:02:37]

The old judge had no mercy for a Waycross country boy[00:02:45]

Staring at those four gray walls in silence[00:02:55]

Lord he'd just listen for the midnight freight[00:03:00]

He knew could take him back to Mabel Joy[00:03:05]

Sunday morning found him lying 'neath the red light at her door[00:03:12]

With a bullet in his side he cried Have you seen Mabel Joy[00:03:21]

Stunned and shaken someone said Why she don't live here no more[00:03:29]

She left this house four years today[00:03:37]

They say she's looking for some Georgia farm boy[00:03:41]
