Mexicali Blues (墨西卡利蓝调) (Live at Baltimore Civic Center, September 17, 1972) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]

Laid back in an old saloon[00:00:19]

With a peso in my hand[00:00:20]

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

And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls[00:00:27]

Who giggle when I smile[00:00:29]

There's a little boy who[00:00:31]

Wants to shine my feet[00:00:32]

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

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

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

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:43]

And a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:45]

And a damn good case[00:00:47]

Of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:00:49]

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

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

Cherish well your thoughts[00:01:01]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:01:02]

Cause thinking and drinking are all[00:01:05]

I have today[00:01:06]

She said her name was Billy Jean[00:01:26]

And she was fresh in town[00:01:27]

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

She had raven hair a ruffled dress[00:01:34]

A necklace made of gold[00:01:36]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:38]

She took me up into her room[00:01:42]

And whispered in my ear[00:01:44]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:46]

Now I'm paying for those happy hours[00:01:50]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:53]

With a lifetime's worth of[00:01:55]

The Mexicali blues yeah[00:01:56]

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

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:02:03]

Cherish well your thoughts and keep[00:02:08]

A tight grip on your booze[00:02:09]

Cause thinking and drinking are[00:02:12]

All I have today[00:02:13]

And then a man rode into town[00:02:33]

Some thought he was the law[00:02:35]

Billy Jean was waiting when he came[00:02:37]

She told me he would take her if[00:02:41]

I didn't use my gun[00:02:43]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:45]

I went down to those dusty streets[00:02:50]

Blood was on my mind[00:02:52]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:54]

Cause I shot first and killed him[00:02:58]

Lord he didn't even draw[00:03:00]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:03:02]

For the Mexicali blues yeah[00:03:04]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:03:07]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:03:11]

He just might find himself out there[00:03:15]

On horseback in the dark[00:03:17]

Just riding and running[00:03:19]

Across those desert sands[00:03:21]
