Mexicali Blues (墨西卡利蓝调) (Live at Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, VA, December 10, 1973) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[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 girls[00:00:26]

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

There's a little boy[00:00:30]

Who wants to shine my feet[00:00:31]

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

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 and a girl[00:00:42]

Who's just fourteen[00:00:45]

And a damn good case of[00:00:46]

The Mexicali blues yeah[00:00:48]

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

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

Cherish well your thoughts[00:00:59]

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

Cause thinking and drinking[00:01:03]

Are all I have today[00:01:04]

She said her name was Billy Jean[00:01:22]

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

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

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

A necklace made of gold[00:01:32]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:34]

She took me up into her room[00:01:38]

And whispered in my ear[00:01:40]

Go on my friend do anything you choose[00:01:42]

Now I'm paying for those happy hours[00:01:46]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:48]

With a lifetime's worth of[00:01:50]

The Mexicali blues yeah[00:01:51]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:55]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:01:59]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:02:02]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:04]

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today[00:02:06]

And then a man rode into town some thought[00:02:26]

He was the law[00:02:29]

Billy Jean was waiting when he came[00:02:30]

She told me he would take her[00:02:34]

If I didn't use my gun[00:02:35]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:38]

I went down to those dusty[00:02:42]

Streets blood was on my mind[00:02:44]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:46]

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord[00:02:50]

He didn't even draw[00:02:52]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:02:54]

For the Mexicali blues yeah[00:02:55]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:02:59]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:03:02]

He just might find himself out[00:03:06]

There on horseback in the dark[00:03:07]

Just riding and running[00:03:10]

Across those desert sands[00:03:11]
