Tonart: E major•
Verse 1
E
A
Well, his daddy was an honest man
E
Just a red dirt Georgia farmer
His mama lived her short life
B
Havin' kids and bailin' hay
A
E
And an aching side to wander
So he jumped a freight and
Now the cold nights had no pity
A
E
On that way across Georgia, farm boy
Most days he went hungry
E
He met a girl known on the Strip
A
E
San Francisco's Mabel Joy
Destitution's child
B
Born on an L .A. street
A
Growing up came quietly
E
In the arms of Mabel Joy
Laughter found their mornings,
B
it brought a meaning to his life
A
On the night before she left, sleep came
E
And left that way across country boy
With dreams of Georgia cotton
B
E
And a California wife
A
Sunday morning found him standing
E
Neath a red light at her door
Went a right cross and him reeling
B
Put him face down on the floor
G#m
A
In place of Mabel Joy
Who growled, your Georgia neck is red
D
A
B
E
But, sonny, you're still green
He turned twenty -one
A
E
In a grey rock federal prison
The old judge had no mercy
B
on that way -crossed country boy
E
Staring at those four gray walls
A
E
In silence he would listen
To that midnight freight he knew
D
A
B
could take him back to Mabel Joe
G#m
A
Sunday morning found him lying
E
beneath the red light at her door
With a bullet in his side, he cried
B
Have you seen Mabel Jones?
A
Stunned and shaken, someone said
E
Son, she don't live here no more
She left this house four years ago
D
A
B
They say she's looking for some Georgia
