Вступление
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G D
His Daddy was an honest man, just a red dirt Georgia farmer
D A
His mother spent her short life havin' kids and balin' hay
D G D
He had fifteen years and he ached inside to wander
D A D
So he jumped a freight in Waycross and wound up in L.A
[Verse 2]
D G D
The cold nights had no pity on a Waycross, Georgia farm boy
D A
Most days he went hungry, then the summer came
D G D
He met a girl known on the strip as San Francisco's Mabel Joy
D A D
Destitution's child born of an L.A. street called "Shame"
[Verse 3]
G D
Growin' up came quietly in the arms of Mabel Joy
D A
Laughter found their mornings brought a meaning to his life
G D
Yes, the night before she left sleep came and gave that Waycross country boy
D A D
A dream of Georgia cotton and a California wife
[Verse 4]
G D
Sunday morning found him standin' neath the red light at her door
D A
When a right cross sent him reelin', put him face down on the floor
G D
In place of Mabel Joy he found a merchant mad marine
D A N.C.
Who growled, "Your Georgia neck is red, oh but sonny, you're still green"
[Interlude]
D
[Verse 5]
D G D
He turned twenty-one in a gray rock fed'ral prison
D A
The old judge had no mercy for a Waycross country boy
D G D
Starin' at those four gray walls in silence, lord, he'd just listen
D A
To the midnight freight he knew could take him back to Mabel Joy
[Verse 6]
G D
Sunday mornin' found him lyin' 'neath the red light at her door
D A
With a bullet in his side, he cried, "Have you seen Mabel Joy?"?
G D
Stunned and shaken someone said, "Why, she don't live here no more
D
She left this house four years today,
A N.C. D
they say she's lookin' for some Georgia farm boy"
