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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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