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

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

Watching flies and children on the street[00:00:22]

And I catch a glimpse of black eyed[00:00:26]

Girls who giggle when I smile[00:00:28]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:30]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield[00:00:34]

And I don't know why I came[00:00:36]

I guess I came to keep from paying dues[00:00:38]

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:42]

And a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:44]

And a damn good case of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:00:46]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:00:51]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:00:55]

Cherish well your thoughts and[00:00:59]

Keep a tight grip on your booze[00:01:01]

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today[00:01:03]

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

And she was fresh in town[00:01:25]

I didn't know a stage line ran from hell[00:01:28]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress[00:01:31]

A necklace made of gold[00:01:34]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:36]

She took me up into her room[00:01:40]

And whispered in my ear[00:01:42]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:44]

Now I'm paying for those happy hours[00:01:48]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:50]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:01:52]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:57]

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

Cherish well your thoughts and keep[00:02:04]

A tight grip on your booze[00:02:06]

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

And then a man rode into town some[00:03:33]

Thought he was the law[00:03:36]

Billy Jean was waiting when he came[00:03:38]

She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun[00:03:42]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:03:46]

I went down to those dusty streets[00:03:50]

Blood was on my mind[00:03:52]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:03:54]

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord[00:03:58]

He didn't even draw[00:04:00]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:04:02]

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

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:04:07]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:04:11]

He just might find himself out there[00:04:14]

On horseback in the dark[00:04:16]

Just riding and running across those desert sands[00:04:18]
