Luyện nghe bài hát San Francisco Mabel Joy

His daddy was an honest man, a red dirt Georgia
His mama lived her young life having kids and hay
He had years and an ache inside to wander
Jumped a in Waycross and wound up in L.A.

The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross, Georgia boy
days, he went hungry then the summer came
He met a girl known on the Strip as San Mabel Joy
Destitution's born on an L.A. street called Shame

Growing up came quietly in the of Mabel Joy
Laughter found the mornings that brought the to his life
Night before she left sleep and found that Waycross country boy
With of Georgia cotton and a California wife

Sunday morning found him the red light at her door
A right cross sent him reelin' and put him face down on the
In place of Mabel Joy he found a mad marine
He said, "Your Georgia neck is red but Sonny still green"

He turned twenty one in a rock Federal prison
The judge had no mercy on Waycross, Georgia boy
Starin' at those four gray walls in silence, Lord he'd
To the midnight freight he could take him back to Mabel Joy

morning found him 'neath the red light at her door, with a bullet
In his side he cried, "Have you seen Joy?", stunned and shaken
Someone said, "She don't here no more, she left this house
Four ago, she was lookin' for some Georgia farm boy"
