Georgia Farm Boy - The Box Tops[00:00:00]

Daddy was a simple man[00:00:08]

Just a red dirt Georgia farmer[00:00:12]

And his momma spent her[00:00:16]

Short life havin' kids and balin' hay[00:00:18]

He had fifteen years and[00:00:26]

An ache inside to wander[00:00:29]

So he hopped a freight in[00:00:33]

Waycross and wound up in L A [00:00:35]

Lord the cold nights had no[00:00:39]

Pity for a Waycross Georgia farm boy[00:00:45]

Most days he went hungry[00:00:51]

Then the summer came[00:00:56]

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

As Francisco's Mabel Joy[00:01:04]

Destitution's child born of an L A [00:01:09]

Street called "Shame"[00:01:13]

Growin' up came quietly in the[00:01:19]

Arms of Mabel Joy[00:01:22]

Laughter found their mornings[00:01:27]

Brought meaning to his life[00:01:29]

The night before she left sleep[00:01:36]

Came and left that[00:01:39]

Waycross Georgia boy with dreams[00:01:40]

Of Georgia cotton and a California wife[00:01:44]

Sunday morning found him[00:01:53]

Standin' 'neath the red light at her door[00:01:56]

Right cross sent him reelin' put him[00:02:01]

Face down on the floor[00:02:04]

In the place of Mabel Joy he found[00:02:09]

A merchant mad marine[00:02:13]

Who growled "Your Georgia neck is[00:02:17]

Red but sunny you're still green"[00:02:20]

He turned twenty-one in[00:02:27]

A grey rock federal prison[00:02:30]

The old judge had no mercy for[00:02:35]

A Waycross Georgia boy[00:02:38]

Starin´ at those four grey walls[00:02:44]

In silence he would listen[00:02:47]

To that midnight freight he knew[00:02:51]

Would take him back to Mabel Joy[00:02:54]

Morning found him standin' 'neath[00:03:01]

The red light at her door[00:03:04]

With a bullet in his side he cried [00:03:08]

"Have you seen Mabel Joy "[00:03:12]

Stunned and shaken someone said [00:03:18]

"Why she's not here no more[00:03:21]

She left this sans four years today [00:03:25]

They say she's lookin' for some Georgia farm boy "[00:03:29]
