《Mexicali Blues(Live at Lyceum， London， England 5/24/1972)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mexicali Blues (Lyceum London England 5/24/1972) - Grateful Dead

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

[00:00:21] Watchin' flies and children on the street

[00:00:25] 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 and I don't know why I came

[00:00:37] I guess I came to keep from payin' 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 yeah

[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

[00:00:58] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:01:02] 'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' 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

[00:01:35] 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

[00:01:47] Now I'm payin' for those happy hours I spent there in her arms

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

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

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

[00:02:04] Cherish well your thoughts and keep a tight grip on your booze

[00:02:08] 'Cause thinkin' and drinkin' are all I have today

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

[00:02:33] Billy Jean was waitin' when he came

[00:02:37] She told me he would take her if I didn't use my gun

[00:02:41] I'd have no one but myself to blame

[00:02:45] I went down to those dusty streets blood was on my mind

[00:02:49] I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news

[00:02:53] '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 yeah

[00:03:02] Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

[00:03:06] When he lets a woman hold him in her hands

[00:03:10] He just might find himself out there on horseback in the dark

[00:03:14] Just ridin' and runnin' across those desert sands
