Mexicali Blues - Grateful Dead[00:00:01]

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand[00:00:19]

Watching flies and children on the street[00:00:24]

And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls who giggle when I smile[00:00:27]

There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet[00:00:31]

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[00:00:39]

So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:42]

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

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today[00:01:02]

She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town[00:01:21]

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

She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold[00:01:28]

All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:33]

She took me up into her room and whispered in my ear[00:01:36]

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

Now I'm paying for those happy hours I spent there in her arms[00:01:44]

With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:01:48]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:01:53]

When the devil wants to take it all away[00:01:56]

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

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today[00:02:04]

And then a man rode into town some thought he was the law[00:02:23]

Billy Jean was waiting when he came[00:02:27]

She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun[00:02:30]

I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:02:34]

I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind[00:02:38]

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:02:42]

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw[00:02:46]

And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali blues yeah[00:02:50]

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:02:54]

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:02:58]

He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark[00:03:02]

Just riding and running across those desert sands[00:03:05]
