Mexicali Blues (墨西卡利蓝调) (Live In Springfield, MA, September 3, 1980) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]
Laid back in an old saloon[00:00:17]
With a peso in my hand[00:00:19]
Watching flies and children on the street[00:00:21]
And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls[00:00:25]
Who giggle when I smile[00:00:27]
There's a little boy who[00:00:29]
Wants to shine my feet[00:00:30]
And it's three days ride from Bakersfield[00:00:33]
And I don't know why I came[00:00:35]
I guess I came to keep from paying dues[00:00:37]
So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:41]
And a girl who's just fourteen[00:00:43]
And a damn good case[00:00:45]
Of the Mexicali blues yeah[00:00:47]
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[00:00:58]
And keep a tight grip on your booze[00:00:59]
Cause thinking and drinking are all[00:01:02]
I have today hey[00:01:03]
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[00:01:29]
A necklace made of gold[00:01:32]
All the French perfume you'd care to smell[00:01:34]
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 and keep[00:02:03]
A tight grip on your booze[00:02:05]
Cause thinking and drinking are[00:02:07]
All I have today yeah[00:02:08]
And then a man rode into town[00:03:47]
Some thought he was the law[00:03:49]
Billy Jean was waiting when he came[00:03:51]
She told me he would take her if[00:03:55]
I didn't use my gun[00:03:57]
I'd have no one but myself to blame[00:03:59]
I went down to those dusty streets[00:04:03]
Blood was on my mind[00:04:05]
I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news[00:04:07]
Cause I shot first and killed him[00:04:11]
Lord he didn't even draw[00:04:13]
When else been my left the town running[00:04:15]
With the Mexicali blues yeah[00:04:17]
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:04:20]
When he lets a woman hold him in her hands[00:04:24]
He just might find himself out there[00:04:27]
On horseback in the dark[00:04:29]
Just riding and running[00:04:31]
Across those desert sands ay[00:04:32]
