《Mexicali Blues(Live at Salt Palace， Salt Lake City， UT， February 28， 1973)》歌词

时长： 04:02

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand [00:00:17]

Watching flies and children on the street [00:00:21]

And I catch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who giggle when I smile [00:00:24]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet [00:00:29]

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield I don't know why I came [00:00:33]

I guess I came to keep from paying dues [00:00:37]

So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen [00:00:41]

And a damn good case of the Mexicali Blues yeh [00:00:45]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose [00:00:50]

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

Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze [00:00:57]

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

She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town [00:01:22]

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

She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold [00:01:30]

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

She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear [00:01:39]

Go on my friend do anything you choose [00:01:43]

Now I'm paying for those happy hours I spent there in her arms [00:01:46]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali Blues [00:01:51]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose [00:01:56]

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

Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze [00:02:03]

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today [00:02:07]

And then a man rode into town some thought he was the law [00:02:28]

Billy Jean was waiting when he came [00:02:32]

She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun [00:02:36]

I'd have no one but myself to blame [00:02:40]

I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind [00:02:44]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news [00:02:48]

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw [00:02:52]

And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues [00:02:57]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose [00:03:01]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands [00:03:05]

He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark [00:03:09]

Just riding and running across those desert sands [00:03:13]
