《San Francisco Mabel Joy(Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] San Francisco Mabel Joy (Remaster) - John Denver (约翰·丹佛)

[00:00:01] Written by：Mickey Newbury

[00:00:09] His daddy was an honest man just a red dirt Georgia farmer

[00:00:17] His mother lived her short life having kids and baling hay

[00:00:28] He had fifteen years and he ached inside to wander

[00:00:36] So he jumped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L.A.

[00:00:47] The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross Georgia farm boy

[00:00:55] Most days he went hungry then the summer came

[00:01:05] He met a girl known on the Strip as San Francisco's Mabel Joy

[00:01:14] Destitution's child born of an L.A. street called shame

[00:01:24] Growing up came easy in the arms of Mabel Joy

[00:01:32] L.A.ughter found their mornings brought a meaning to his life

[00:01:41] Yes the night before she left sleep came and gave that Waycross country boy

[00:01:49] A dream of Georgia cotton and a California wife

[00:01:58] Sunday morning found him standing 'neath the red light at her door

[00:02:07] When a right cross sent him reeling put him face down on the floor

[00:02:16] In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine

[00:02:24] Who growled Your Georgia neck is red aw but sonny you're still green

[00:02:37] He turned twenty-one in a gray rock federal prison

[00:02:45] The old judge had no mercy for a Waycross country boy

[00:02:55] Staring at those four gray walls in silence

[00:03:00] Lord he'd just listen for the midnight freight

[00:03:05] He knew could take him back to Mabel Joy

[00:03:12] Sunday morning found him lying 'neath the red light at her door

[00:03:21] With a bullet in his side he cried Have you seen Mabel Joy

[00:03:29] Stunned and shaken someone said Why she don't live here no more

[00:03:37] She left this house four years today

[00:03:41] They say she's looking for some Georgia farm boy
