Mexicali Blues (Lyceum London England 5/24/1972) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand[00:00:17]

Watchin' flies and children on the street[00:00:21]

And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile[00:00:25]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:29]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came[00:00:33]

I guess I came to keep from payin' dues[00:00:37]

So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:41]

And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:00:45]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:00:50]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:00:54]

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

'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:01:02]

She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town[00:01:22]

I didn't know a stage line ran from hell[00:01:26]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold[00:01:30]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:35]

She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear[00:01:39]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:43]

Now I'm payin' for those happy hours I spent there in her arms[00:01:47]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:01:51]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:56]

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

Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:04]

'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today[00:02:08]

And then a man rode into town some thought he was the law[00:02:28]

Billy Jean was waitin' when he came[00:02:33]

She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun[00:02:37]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:41]

I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind[00:02:45]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:49]

'Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw[00:02:53]

And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues yeah[00:02:57]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:03:02]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:03:06]

He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark[00:03:10]

Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands[00:03:14]
