时长： 03:46

Mexicali Blues (墨西卡利蓝调) (Live at Boston Music Hall, November 30, 1973) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand[00:00:16]

Watching flies and children on the street[00:00:20]

And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls who giggle when I smile[00:00:24]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:28]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield[00:00:32]

And I don't know why I came[00:00:34]

I guess I came to keep from paying dues[00:00:36]

So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:40]

And a damn good case of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:00:44]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:00:49]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:00:53]

Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze[00:00:56]

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

She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town[00:01:20]

I didn't know a stage line ran from hell[00:01:23]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold[00:01:27]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:31]

She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear[00:01:35]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:39]

Now I'm paying for those happy hours I spent there in her arms[00:01:43]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:01:47]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:52]

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

Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze[00:01:59]

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today[00:02:03]

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

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

She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun[00:02:31]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:35]

I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind[00:02:39]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:43]

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw[00:02:47]

And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali blues yeah[00:02:51]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:02:55]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:02:59]

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

Just riding and running across those desert sands[00:03:06]
