Key: E major
Verse 1
D
G
Well, his daddy was an honest man
His mama lived her short life
G
D
And an aching side to wander
So he jumped a freight and
Now the cold nights had no pity
G
D
On that way across Georgia, farm boy
Most days he went hungry
G
D
San Francisco's Mabel Joy
Destitution's child
Laughter found their mornings,
With dreams of Georgia cotton
A
D
And a California wife
Went a right cross and him reeling
F#m
G
In place of Mabel Joy
Who growled, your Georgia neck is red
C
G
A
D
But, sonny, you're still green
He turned twenty -one
G
D
In a grey rock federal prison
The old judge had no mercy
G
D
In silence he would listen
To that midnight freight he knew
C
G
A
could take him back to Mabel Joe
F#m
G
Sunday morning found him lying
With a bullet in his side, he cried
She left this house four years ago
C
G
A
They say she's looking for some Georgia
