This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the some days are diamonds album, and has also been released on the changes album. 
 
His daddy was a simple man, just a red dirt georgia farmer 
And his momma spent her young life havin kids and balin hay 
He had fifteen years and an ache inside to wander 
So he hopped a freight in waycross and wound up in l.a. 
 
Lord, the cold nights had no pity on a waycross, georgia farm boy 
Most days he went hungry, then the summer came 
He met a girl known on the strip as san franciscos mabel joy 
Destitutions child born of an l.a. street called shame 
 
Growin up came quietly in the arms of mabel joy 
Laughter found their mornings brought meaning to his life 
Yes, the night before she left sleep came and left that waycross, georgia boy 
With dreams of georgia cotton and a california wife 
 
Sunday morning found him standin neath the red light at her door 
When a right cross sent him reelin, put him face down on the floor 
In place of mabel joy he found a merchant mad marine 
Who growled, your georgia neck is red but sonny, youre still green 
 
He turned twenty-one in a gray rock fedral prison 
The old judge had no mercy for a waycross, georgia boy 
Starin at those four gray walls in silence he would listen 
To that midnight freight he knew would take him back to mabel joy 
 
Sunday mornin found him standin 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, why, shes not here no more 
She left this house four years today, they say shes lookin for some gergia farm boy
