Layin'A back in an old saloon with a peso iGn my Bhand Em
AWatchin' flies and children on the Dstreet
And I Acatch a glimpse of black-eyed girls who Ggiggle Bwhen I Emsmile
There's a Alittle boy who wants to shine my Dfeet
And it's Gthree days ride from BBakersfield and I Emdon't know why I came
I Aguess I came to keep from payin' Ddues
But Ginstead I've got a Bbottle and a Emgirl who's just fourteen
And a Adamn good case of the Mexicali Blues, yeah
DIs there anything a man don't stand to lose
When the devil wants to Atake it all away?
Cherish well your thoughts, keep a tight grip on your booze
'Cuz thinkin' and drinkin' are Gall I have toAday.
AShe said her name was Billie Jean; Gshe was Bfresh in Emtown
I Adidn't know a stage line ran from Dhell
She had Araven hair, a ruffled dress, a Gnecklace Bmade of gold
AAll the french perfume you'd care to Dsmell
She Gtook me up inBto her room and Emwhispered in my ear
Go Aon my friend do anything you Dchoose.
Now I'm Gpaying for those Bhappy hours I Emspent there in her arms
With a Alifetime case of the Mexicali Blues, Dyeah.
DIs there anything a man don't stand to lose
When the devil wants to Atake it all away?
Cherish well your thoughts, keep a tight grip on your booze
'Cuz thinkin' and drinkin' are Gall I have toAday.
AThen a man rode into town; some Gthought he Bwas the Emlaw
ABillie Jean was waiting when he Dcame
She Atold me he would take her if I Gdidn't Buse my Emgun
And AI'd have no one but myself to Dblame
I Gwent down to those Bdusty streets; Emblood was on my mind
I Aguess that stranger hadn't heard the Dnews.
"Cuz GI shot first and Bkilled him. Lord he Emdidn't even draw.
And he Amade me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues.D
DIs there anything a man don't stand to lose
When he lets a woman Ahold him in her hand?
You just might find yourself out there on horseback in the dark
Just ridin' and runnin' aGcross those desert Asands.
