《Brownsville Girl》歌词

[00:00:01] Bob Dylan - Brownsville Girl

[00:00:05] Well there was this movie I seen one time

[00:00:17] About a man riding 'cross the desert and

[00:00:22] It starred Gregory Peck

[00:00:24] He was shot down by a hungry kid trying

[00:00:30] To make a name for himself

[00:00:31] The townspeople wanted to crush

[00:00:35] That kid down and string him up by the neck

[00:00:37] Well the marshal

[00:00:41] Now he beat that kid to a bloody pulp

[00:00:43] As the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and

[00:00:50] Gasped for his last breath

[00:00:52] Turn him loose let him go

[00:00:55] Let him say he outdrew me fair and square

[00:00:58] I want him to feel what it's like to

[00:01:02] Every moment face his death

[00:01:04] Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling in

[00:01:10] And you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain

[00:01:17] You know I can't believe we've lived so long

[00:01:22] And are still so far apart

[00:01:24] The memory of you keeps callin'

[00:01:30] After me like a rollin' train

[00:01:32] I can still see the day that you came to me

[00:01:37] On the painted desert

[00:01:37] In your busted down Ford and your platform heels

[00:01:44] I could never figure out

[00:01:49] Why you chose that particular place to meet

[00:01:51] Ah but you were right

[00:01:56] It was perfect as I got in behind the wheel

[00:01:58] Well we drove that car all night into San Anton'

[00:02:05] And we slept near the Alamo your skin was so tender and soft

[00:02:12] Way down in Mexico you went out to

[00:02:18] Find a doctor and you never came back

[00:02:20] I would have gone on after you but

[00:02:23] I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off

[00:02:26] Well we're drivin' this car and

[00:02:30] The sun is comin' up over the Rockies

[00:02:32] Now I know she ain't you but she's here

[00:02:37] And she's got that dark rhythm in her soul

[00:02:39] But I'm too over the edge and

[00:02:44] I ain't in the mood anymore to remember

[00:02:45] The times when I was your only man

[00:02:47] And she don't want to remind me

[00:02:50] She knows this car would go out of control

[00:02:52] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls

[00:03:00] Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:03:06] Brownsville girl show me all around the world

[00:03:14] Brownsville girl you're my honey love

[00:03:19] Well we crossed the panhandle and

[00:03:24] Then we headed towards Amarillo

[00:03:26] We pulled up where Henry Porter used to live

[00:03:30] He owned a wreckin' lot outside

[00:03:31] Of town about a mile

[00:03:33] Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes

[00:03:37] She had her red hair tied back

[00:03:39] She saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust

[00:03:42] She said "Henry ain't here but you can come on in

[00:03:45] He'll be back in a little while "

[00:03:46] Then she told us how times were tough and

[00:03:51] About how she was thinkin' of bummin'

[00:03:52] A ride back to where she started

[00:03:54] But ya know she changed the subject

[00:03:56] Every time money came up

[00:03:58] She said "Welcome to the land of the living dead "

[00:04:04] You could tell she was so broken-hearted

[00:04:07] She said

[00:04:09] "Even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt "

[00:04:11] "How far are y'all going " Ruby asked us with a sigh

[00:04:19] "We're going all the way 'til the wheels fall off and burn

[00:04:25] 'Til the sun peels the paint and

[00:04:31] The seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies "

[00:04:34] Ruby just smiled and said "Ah you know some babies never learn "

[00:04:39] Something about that movie though well I just can't get it out of my head

[00:04:47] But I can't remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play

[00:04:52] All I remember about it was Gregory Peck and the way people moved

[00:04:58] And a lot of them seemed to be lookin' my way

[00:05:05] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls teeth like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:05:18] Brownsville girl show me all around the world

[00:05:27] Brownsville girl you're my honey love

[00:05:32] Well they were looking for somebody with a pompadour

[00:05:52] I was crossin' the street when shots rang out

[00:05:58] I didn't know whether to duck or to run so I ran

[00:06:05] "We got him cornered in the churchyard " I heard somebody shout

[00:06:11] Well you saw my picture in the Corpus Christi Tribune Underneath it it said "A man with no alibi "

[00:06:19] You went out on a limb to testify for me you said I was with you

[00:06:24] Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears

[00:06:31] It was the best acting I saw anybody do

[00:06:36] Now I've always been the kind of person that doesn't like to trespass but sometimes you just find yourself over the line

[00:06:46] Oh if there's an original thought out there I could use it right now

[00:06:50] You know I feel pretty good but that ain't sayin' much I could feel a whole lot better

[00:06:57] If you were just here by my side to show me how

[00:07:04] Well I'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring Gregory Peck

[00:07:10] Yeah but you know it's not the one that I had in mind

[00:07:16] He's got a new one out now I don't even know what it's about

[00:07:25] But I'll see him in anything so I'll stand in line

[00:07:30] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls teeth

[00:07:39] Like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:07:42] Brownsville girl show me all around the world

[00:07:51] Brownsville girl you're my honey love

[00:07:56] You know it's funny how things never turn out the way you had 'em planned

[00:08:30] The only thing we knew for sure about Henry Porter is

[00:08:33] That his name wasn't Henry Porter

[00:08:35] And you know there was somethin' about you baby that

[00:08:40] I liked that was always too good for this world

[00:08:42] Just like you always said there was something about me

[00:08:46] You liked that I left behind in the French Quarter

[00:08:49] Strange how people who suffer together

[00:08:53] Have stronger connections than people who are most content

[00:08:56] I don't have any regrets

[00:08:58] They can talk about me plenty when I'm gone

[00:09:01] You always said people don't do what they believe in

[00:09:07] They just do what's most convenient then they repent

[00:09:10] And I always said "Hang on to me baby

[00:09:13] And let's hope that the roof stays on "

[00:09:15] There was a movie I seen one time

[00:09:19] I think I sat through it twice

[00:09:23] I don't remember who I was or where I was bound

[00:09:27] All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck

[00:09:34] He wore a gun and he was shot in the back

[00:09:37] Seems like a long time ago long before the stars were torn down

[00:09:40] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls

[00:09:49] Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:09:53] Brownsville girl show me all around the world

[00:10:01] Brownsville girl you're my honey love

[00:10:07] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls

[00:10:14] Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:10:19] Brownsville girl show me all around the world Brownsville girl

[00:10:30] You're my honey love

[00:10:32] Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls

[00:10:40] Teeth like pearls shining like the moon above

[00:10:45] Brownsville girl show me all around the world
