San Francisco Mabel Joy - Mickey Newbury[00:00:00]

Composer：Mickey Newbury[00:00:05]

Lyricist：Mickey Newbury[00:00:10]

Lord his daddy was an honest man[00:00:16]

Just a red dirt Georgia farmer[00:00:24]

His momma lived her short life having kids and baling hay[00:00:29]

He had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander[00:00:43]

So he hopped a freight at Waycross[00:00:54]

Wound up in L.A[00:01:00]

Well the cold nights had no pity on that Waycross Georgia farm boy[00:01:06]

Most days he went hungry then the summer came[00:01:19]

He met a girl known on the strip[00:01:33]

The San Francisco's Mabel Joy[00:01:38]

Destitution's child born on an L.A. street called Shame[00:01:43]

Growing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel Joy[00:01:57]

Laughter found their mornings born the meaning to his life[00:02:08]

Now the night before she left sleep came and left that Waycross country boy[00:02:20]

With dreams of Georgia cotton and a California wife[00:02:31]

Sunday morning found him standin 'neath the red light at her door[00:02:42]

When a right cross sent him reeling[00:02:55]

Put him face down on the floor[00:03:00]

In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine[00:03:08]

Who growled your Georgia neck is red but Sonny you're still green[00:03:20]

So he turned twenty-one in a gray rock federal prison[00:03:32]

That old judge had no mercy for that Waycross Georgia boy[00:03:44]

Staring at those four gray walls in silence learning listen[00:03:58]

To that midnight freight he knew take him back to Mabel Joy[00:04:08]

Sunday morning found him lying neath the red light at her door[00:04:21]

With a bullet in his side he cried[00:04:32]

Have you seen Mabel Joy[00:04:37]

Stunned and shaken someone said son she don't live here no more[00:04:47]

No she left this house four years today[00:04:58]

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