《Mexicali Blues(Live at the Spectrum， Philadelphia， PA， September 21， 1972)》歌词

[00:00:01] Mexicali Blues - Grateful Dead

[00:00:19] Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand

[00:00:24] Watching flies and children on the street

[00:00:27] And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls who giggle when I smile

[00:00:31] There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet

[00:00:34] And it's three days ride from Bakersfield

[00:00:36] And I don't know why I came

[00:00:39] I guess I came to keep from paying dues

[00:00:42] So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen

[00:00:46] And a damn good case of the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:00:51] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:00:55] When the devil wants to take it all away

[00:00:58] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:01:02] Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

[00:01:21] She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town

[00:01:25] I didn't know a stage line ran from hell

[00:01:28] She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold

[00:01:33] All the French perfume you'd care to smell

[00:01:36] She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear

[00:01:41] Go on my friend do anything you choose

[00:01:44] Now I'm paying for those happy hours I spent there in her arms

[00:01:48] With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:01:53] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:01:56] When the devil wants to take it all away

[00:02:00] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:02:04] Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

[00:02:23] And then a man rode into town some thought he was the law

[00:02:27] Billy Jean was waiting when he came

[00:02:30] She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun

[00:02:34] I'd have no one but myself to blame

[00:02:38] I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind

[00:02:42] I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news

[00:02:46] Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw

[00:02:50] And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:02:54] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:02:58] When he lets a woman hold him in her hands

[00:03:02] He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark

[00:03:05] Just riding and running across those desert sands
