《Mexicali Blues(Live at Boston Music Hall， November 30， 1973)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mexicali Blues (墨西卡利蓝调) (Live at Boston Music Hall, November 30, 1973) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:16] Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand

[00:00:20] Watching flies and children on the street

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

[00:00:28] There's a little boy who wants to shine my feet

[00:00:32] 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

[00:00:40] So instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen

[00:00:44] And a damn good case of the Mexicali blues yeah

[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

[00:00:56] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

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

[00:01:20] She said her name was Billy Jean and she was fresh in town

[00:01:23] I didn't know a stage line ran from hell

[00:01:27] She had raven hair a ruffled dress a necklace made of gold

[00:01:31] All the French perfume you'd care to smell

[00:01:35] 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

[00:01:47] With a lifetime's worth of the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:01:52] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

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

[00:01:59] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:02:03] Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

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

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

[00:02:31] She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun

[00:02:35] I'd have no one but myself to blame

[00:02:39] I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind

[00:02:43] I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news

[00:02:47] Cause I shot first and killed him Lord he didn't even draw

[00:02:51] And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali blues yeah

[00:02:55] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:02:59] When he lets a woman hold him in her hands

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

[00:03:06] Just riding and running across those desert sands
