Mexicali Blues - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Laid back in an old saloon [00:00:16]
With a peso in my hand [00:00:18]
Watchin flies and children on the street [00:00:20]
And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls[00:00:24]
Who giggle when I smile [00:00:27]
There's a little boy[00:00:28]
Who wants to shine my feet [00:00:30]
And it's three days ride from bakersfield[00:00:32]
And I don't know why I came [00:00:35]
I guess I came to keep[00:00:37]
From payin dues [00:00:39]
So instead Ive got a bottle[00:00:41]
And a girl whos just fourteen [00:00:43]
And a damn good case of[00:00:45]
The mexicali blues yeh [00:00:47]
Is there anything a man[00:00:50]
Don't stand to lose [00:00:52]
When the devil wants to[00:00:54]
Take it all away [00:00:56]
Cherish well your thoughts [00:00:58]
And keep a tight grip on your booze [00:01:00]
Cause thinkin and drinkin[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[00:01:27]
Ran from hell [00:01:29]
She had raven hair a ruffled dress [00:01:31]
A necklace made of gold [00:01:33]
All the french perfume[00:01:35]
You'd care to smell [00:01:36]
She took me up into her room[00:01:39]
And whispered in my ear [00:01:41]
Go on my friend [00:01:43]
Do anything you choose [00:01:44]
Now Im payin for those happy hours[00:01:47]
I spent there in her arms [00:01:50]
With a lifetimes worth[00:01:52]
Of the mexicali blues [00:01:53]
Is there anything a man[00:01:57]
Don't stand to lose [00:01:58]
When the devil wants to[00:02:01]
Take it all away [00:02:02]
Cherish well your thoughts [00:02:04]
And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:02:06]
Cause thinkin and drinkin[00:02:09]
And then a man rode into town [00:02:29]
Some thought he was the law [00:02:31]
Billy jean was waitin when he came [00:02:34]
She told me he would take her [00:02:38]
If I didn't use my gun [00:02:40]
Id have no one but myself to blame [00:02:42]
I went down to those dusty streets [00:02:46]
Blood was on my mind [00:02:48]
I guess that stranger[00:02:50]
Hadnt heard the news[00:02:51]
Cause I shot first and killed him [00:02:54]
Lord he didn't even draw[00:02:56]
And he made me trade the gallows[00:02:59]
For the mexicali blues [00:03:00]
Is there anything a man[00:03:04]
Don't stand to lose[00:03:05]
When he lets a woman[00:03:07]
Hold him in her hands [00:03:09]
He just might find himself out there[00:03:11]
On horseback in the dark[00:03:13]
Just ridin and runnin[00:03:16]
Across those desert sands[00:03:17]
