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

Written by：Mickey Newbury[00:00:01]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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