San Francisco Mable Joy - David Allan Coe[00:00:00]
My daddy was an honest man [00:00:00]
Just a redneck Georgia farm boy[00:00:05]
My momma spent her short life [00:00:12]
Raisin' kids and bailin' hay[00:00:15]
And I was just fifteen when[00:00:22]
I ached inside to wonder[00:00:25]
So I hoped a freight in[00:00:30]
Waycross and I rode it to L A [00:00:31]
Well I met a girl known on the strip as[00:00:39]
San Francisco's Maybel Joy[00:00:43]
Destitutions child born on a L A [00:00:48]
Street called Shane[00:00:52]
And sleep came and left this little[00:00:57]
Waycross Georgia country boy[00:01:01]
Maybel Joy was gone Lord [00:01:05]
I'd never see her again[00:01:08]
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Maybel Joy[00:01:14]
Laughter found our morning's [00:01:24]
Brought new meaning to my life[00:01:27]
I woke up one day [00:01:33]
Lord to find that I was by myself[00:01:34]
With dreams of[00:01:43]
Georgia cotton and California wine[00:01:43]
Sunday mornin' found me standin'[00:01:51]
'Neath the red-light of her door[00:01:54]
Right 'cross sent me reelin' [00:02:01]
Laid me face down on the floor[00:02:05]
In place of Maybel Joy[00:02:10]
I found a merchant mad marine[00:02:13]
Who said "Your Georgia neck is[00:02:20]
Red but son you're still green"[00:02:21]
Well I turned twenty[00:02:30]
One in gray rock federal prison[00:02:30]
The judge he had no mercy on this[00:02:38]
Waycross Georgia boy[00:02:42]
Sometimes at night in silence [00:02:47]
Lord I'd listen[00:02:52]
That same old freight to[00:02:56]
Take me back to Maybel Joy[00:02:57]
Cold nights had no pity on this[00:03:04]
Waycross Georgia farm boy[00:03:08]
Springtime turned to summer[00:03:14]
And then the winter came[00:03:18]
Starin' at those four gray[00:03:23]
Walls in silence Lord I'd listen[00:03:25]
Somewhere in the distance to[00:03:32]
The whistle of the train[00:03:35]
Sunday morning found me lying[00:03:40]
'Neath the red light of her door[00:03:44]
With a bullet in my side I cried [00:03:50]
"Have you seen Maybel Joy "[00:03:54]
Stunned and shaken someone said [00:04:00]
"Son she don't live here no more"[00:04:03]
She left this town ten years ago [00:04:09]
I heard she's looking for[00:04:13]
Some Georgia farm boy"[00:04:20]
