Versurile Joan Baez - San Francisco Mabel Joy
Versuri San Francisco Mabel Joy
Lord his Daddy was an honest man, just a red dirt
Georgia farmer
And his momma lived her short life having kids
and baling hay
He had fifteen years and he ached inside to
wander
So he jumped a freight at Waycross and wound up
in LA.
The cold nights had no pity on that Waycross,
Georgia farm boy
Most days he went hungry, and 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
And the night before she left sleep came and left
thatWaycross, country boy
With dreams of Georgia cotton and a California
wife
Sunday morning found him standing 'neath the red
light at her door
When a right cross sent him reeling, put him face
down on the floor
And in place of his Mabel Joy he found a merchant
mad marine
Who growled, Your Georgia neck is red but Sonny
you're still green
He turned twenty-one in a grey rock federal
prison
The old judge had no mercy on that Waycross,
Georgia boy
Staring at those four grey walls, in silence he
would listen
To the midnight freight he knew would take him
back to Mabel Joy
Sunday morning found him lying 'neath the red
light at her door
With a bullet in his side, he cried Have you seen
Mabel Joy!
Stunned and shaken someone said Son, she don't
live here no more
She left this house four years today, they say
she's looking for ...
Some Georgia farm boy
