And it's three days ride from Bakersfield and I don't know why I came
A
D
I guess I came to keep from payin' dues

But instead I've got a bottle and a girl who's just fourteen
A
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, keep a tight grip on your booze

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.

"Cuz I shot first and killed him. Lord he didn't even draw.

And he made me trade the gallows for the Mexicali Blues.
