Mexicali Blues [Live at Lyceum Theatre, May 1972[00:00:00]

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

Just watching flies and children on the street [00:00:21]

I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls[00:00:25]

Who giggle when I smile [00:00:27]

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

And It's three days ride from Bakersfield [00:00:33]

And I don't know why I came [00:00:35]

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

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:41]

And a girl who's just fourteen [00:00:43]

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

Yeh[00:00:49]

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[00:00:58]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:01:00]

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

She said her name was Billy Jean[00:01:23]

And she was fresh in town [00:01:24]

I didn't know a stage line ran from Hell [00:01:27]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress[00:01:30]

A necklace made of gold [00:01:33]

And all the french perfume you'd care to smell [00:01:35]

She took me up into her room[00:01:39]

And whispered in my ear [00:01:41]

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

Now I'm paying for those happy hours[00:01:47]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:49]

With a life-time's worth of Mexicali Blues [00:01:51]

Yeh[00:01:54]

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[00:02:04]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:05]

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today [00:02:08]

Then a man rode into town some thought he was the law [00:02:29]

But Billy Jean was waiting when he came [00:02:33]

She told me he would take her[00:02:37]

If I didn't use my gun[00:02:38]

And 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[00:02:53]

Lord he didn't even draw [00:02:55]

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

Yeh[00:03:01]

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

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

You just might find yourself out there[00:03:10]

On horseback in the dark[00:03:11]

Just riding and running across those desert sands[00:03:14]
