歌曲名 San Francisco Mabel Joy

歌手名 Kenny Rogers

作曲：Mickey Newbury

His daddy was an honest man red dirt Georgia farmer

His mama lived her short life having kids and baling hay

He had fifteen years an ache inside to wander

He hopped a freight in way cross wound up in LA

Lord the cold nights had no pity on a way cross Georgia farm boy

Most days he went hungry then the summer came

He met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Mabel joy

Destitution's child born of an LA street called shame

Growing up came quietly in the arms of Mabel joy

Laughter found their mornings brought a meaning to his life

Yes the night before she left sleep came and left that way cross

Country boy with dreams of Georgia cotton and a California wife

Sunday morning found him standing 'neath the red light of her door

When a right cross sent him reeling put him face down on the floor

In place of Mabel joy he found a merchant mad marine

He growled that Georgia neck is red but sonny your still green

He turned twenty one in a gray rock federal prison

The old judge had no mercy for a way cross Georgia boy

Starin' at those four gray wall

In silence he would listen

That midnight freight he knew would take him back to Mabel joy

Sunday morning found him lyin' 'neath the red light of her door

With a bullet in his side he cried have you seen Mabel joy

Stunned and shaken someone said she's not here no more

She left this house four years today

They say she's looking for some Georgia farm boy
