Mexicali Blues (LI've at Denver Coliseum Denver CO 11/21/73) - Grateful Dead[00:00:01]
Laid back in an old saloon [00:00:20]
With a peso in my hand [00:00:22]
Watchin flies and children on the street [00:00:24]
And I catch a glI'mpse of black-eyed[00:00:28]
Girls who giggle when I smile [00:00:30]
There's a little boy who[00:00:32]
Wants to shine my feet [00:00:33]
And it's three days ride from[00:00:36]
Bakersfield and I don't know why I came [00:00:38]
I guess I came to keep from payin dues [00:00:40]
So instead I've got a bottle[00:00:44]
And a girl who's just fourteen [00:00:46]
And a damn good case[00:00:48]
Of the mexicali blues yeh [00:00:49]
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose [00:00:53]
When the devil wants to take it all away [00:00:57]
Cherish well your thoughts [00:01:01]
And keep a tight grip on your booze [00:01:02]
Cause thinkin and drinkin[00:01:05]
Are all I have today [00:01:06]
She said her name was billy[00:01:25]
Jean and she was fresh in town [00:01:27]
I didn't know a stage line ran from hell [00:01:29]
She had raven hair a ruffled dress [00:01:33]
A necklace made of gold [00:01:35]
All the french perfume youd care to smell [00:01:37]
She took me up into her room[00:01:41]
And whispered in my ear [00:01:43]
Go on my friend do anything you choose [00:01:45]
Now I'm payin for those happy hours[00:01:49]
I spent there in her arms [00:01:51]
With a lifetI'mes worth of the mexicali blues [00:01:54]
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose [00:01:59]
When the devil wants to take it all away [00:02:02]
Cherish well your thoughts and keep[00:02:06]
A tight grip on your booze[00:02:08]
Cause thinkin and drinkin are all I have today [00:02:10]
And then a man rode into town [00:02:31]
Some thought he was the law [00:02:32]
Billy jean was waitin when he came [00:02:35]
She told me he would take her [00:02:39]
If I didn't use my gun [00:02:40]
Id have no one but myself to blame [00:02:43]
I went down to those dusty streets [00:02:47]
Blood was on my mind [00:02:49]
I guess that stranger hadnt heard the news[00:02:51]
Cause I shot first and killed hI'm [00:02:55]
Lord he didn't even draw[00:02:57]
And he made me trade the gallows[00:02:59]
For the mexicali blues [00:03:01]
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose[00:03:04]
When he let's a woman[00:03:07]
Hold him in her hands [00:03:09]
He just might find hI'mself out there[00:03:12]
On horseback in the dark[00:03:13]
Just ridin and runnin across[00:03:15]
Those desert sands[00:03:17]
