Mexicali Blues (Live at The Spectrum Philadelphia 4 6 82) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]

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

Just watchin' flies and children on the street [00:00:20]

I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls[00:00:24]

Who giggle when I smile [00:00:26]

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 payin' dues [00:00:36]

So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:40]

And a girl who's just fourteen [00:00:42]

And a damned good case of the Mexicali Blues Yeh [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[00:00:56]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:00:58]

Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today [00:01:01]

She said her name was Billy Jean[00:01:20]

And she was fresh in town [00:01:22]

I didn't know a stage-line ran from Hell [00:01:25]

She had raven hair a ruffled dress [00:01:28]

A necklace made of gold [00:01:30]

And all the french perfume you'd care to smell [00:01:33]

She took me up into her room[00:01:37]

And whispered in my ear [00:01:39]

Go on my friend do anything you choose "[00:01:41]

Now I'm payin' for those happy hours[00:01:45]

I spent there in her arms[00:01:47]

With a life-time's worth of Mexicali Blues [00:01:49]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:54]

When the Devil wants to take it all away [00:01:58]

Cherish well your thoughts[00:02:01]

And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:03]

Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today [00:02:05]

Then a man rode into town some[00:03:30]

Thought he was the law [00:03:32]

But Billy Jean was waitin' when he came [00:03:34]

She told me he would take her[00:03:38]

If I didn't use my gun[00:03:40]

And I'd have no one but myself to blame [00:03:43]

I went down to those dusty streets[00:03:47]

Blood was on my mind [00:03:49]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news [00:03:51]

Cause I shot first and killed him [00:03:55]

Lord he didn't even draw [00:03:56]

And he made me trade the gallows[00:03:58]

For the Mexicali Blues [00:04:00]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:04:03]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hand [00:04:07]

You just might find yourself out there[00:04:11]

On horseback in the dark[00:04:13]

Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands[00:04:15]
