《Mexicali Blues(Live at Academy of Music， New York， NY， March 28， 1972)》歌词

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

[00:00:18] Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand

[00:00:23] Watching flies and children on the street

[00:00:26] 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

[00:00:35] And it's three days ride from Bakersfield

[00:00:37] And I don't know why I came

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

[00:00:43] So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen

[00:00:47] And a damn good case of the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:00:52] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

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

[00:01:00] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:01:04] Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

[00:01:24] She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town

[00:01:29] I didn't know a stage line ran from hell

[00:01:32] She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold

[00:01:37] All the French perfume you'd care to smell

[00:01:41] She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear

[00:01:45] Go on my friend do anything you choose

[00:01:49] Now I'm paying for those happy hours I spent there in her arms

[00:01:53] With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:01:58] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:02:02] When the devil wants to take it all away

[00:02:06] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:02:10] Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

[00:02:31] And then a man rode into town some thought he was the law

[00:02:35] Billy Jean was waiting when he came

[00:02:39] She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun

[00:02:43] I'd have no one but myself to blame

[00:02:47] I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind

[00:02:52] I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news

[00:02:56] Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw

[00:03:00] And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:03:05] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:03:08] When he lets a woman hold him in her hands

[00:03:12] He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark

[00:03:17] Just riding and running across those desert sands
