grateful dead - mexicali blues (live in veneta, oregon, august 27, 1972) كلمات الأغنية
[intro]
1, 2, 1, 2, 3
[verse 1]
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 d-mn good case of the mexicali blues, yeah
[chorus]
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
[verse 2]
she said her name was billie 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 payin’ for those happy hours i spent there in her arms
with a lifetime’s worth of the mexicali blues, yeah
[chorus]
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
[verse 3]
and then a man rode into town, some thought he was the law
billie 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 k!lled him, lord, he didn’t even draw
and he made me trade the gallows for the mexicali blues, yeah
[chorus]
is there anything a man don’t stand to lose
when the lets a woman hold him in her hands
you just might find yourself out there on horseback in the dark
just riding and running across those desert sands, ooh
