Mexicali Blues (Live) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

Laid back in an old saloon with a peso in my hand

Watching flies and children on the street

And I catch a glimpse of black eyed girls

Who giggle when I smile

There's a little boy

Who wants to shine my feet

And it's three days ride from Bakersfield

And I don't know why I came

I guess I came to keep from paying dues

So instead I've got a bottle and a girl

Who's just fourteen

And a damn good case of

The Mexicali blues yeah

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

When the devil wants to take it all away

Cherish well your thoughts

And keep a tight grip on your booze

Cause thinking and drinking

Are all I have today

She said her name was Billy Jean

And she was fresh in town

I didn't know a stage line ran from hell

She had raven hair a ruffled dress

A necklace made of gold

All the French perfume you'd care to smell

She took me up into her room

And whispered in my ear

Go on my friend do anything you choose

Now I'm paying for those happy hours

I spent there in her arms

With a lifetime's worth of

The Mexicali blues yeah

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

When the devil wants to take it all away

Cherish well your thoughts

And keep a tight grip on your booze

Cause thinking and drinking are all I have today

And then a man rode into town some thought

He was the law

Billy Jean was waiting when he came

She told me he would take her

If I didn't use my gun

I'd have no one but myself to blame

I went down to those dusty

Streets blood was on my mind

I guess that stranger hadn't heard the news

Cause I shot first and killed him Lord

He didn't even draw

And he made me trade the gallows

For the Mexicali blues yeah

Is there anything a man don't stand to lose

When he lets a woman hold him in her hands

He just might find himself out

There on horseback in the dark

Just riding and running

Across those desert sands
