paroles de chanson Mexicali Blues - Grateful Dead
Laid
back
in
an
old
saloon
with
a
peso
in
my
hand,
Just
watchin'
flies
and
children
on
the
street.
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
payin'
dues.
So,
instead,
I've
got
a
bottle
and
a
girl
who's
just
fourteen,
And
a
damned
good
case
of
the
Mexicali
Blues.
Yeh!
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
thinkin'
and
drinkin'
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,
And
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
payin'
for
those
happy
hours
I
spent
there
in
her
arms
With
a
life-time's
worth
of
Mexicali
Blues.
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
thinkin'
and
drinkin'
are
all
I
have
today.
Then
a
man
rode
into
town
some
thought
he
was
the
law.
But
Billy
Jean
was
waitin'
when
he
came.
She
told
me
he
would
take
her
if
I
didn't
use
my
gun
And
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.
Is
there
anything
a
man
don't
stand
to
lose
When
he
lets
a
woman
hold
him
in
her
hand?
You
just
might
find
yourself
out
there
on
horseback
in
the
dark
Just
ridin'
and
runnin'
across
those
desert
sands.
