《Mexicali Blues》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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