Bob Dylan - Brownsville Girl слова песни
Well, there was this movie I seen one time,About a man riding cross the desert and it starred gregory peck.He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to make a name for himself.The townspeople wanted to crush that kid down and string him up by the neck.Well, the marshal, now he beat that kid to a bloody pulpAs the dying gunfighter lay in the sun and gasped for his last breath.Turn him loose, let him go, let him say he outdrew me fair and square,I want him to feel what its like to every moment face his death.Well, I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes a-rolling inAnd you know it blows right through me like a ball and chain.You know I cant believe weve lived so long and are still so far apart.The memory of you keeps callin after me like a rollin train.I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted desertIn your busted down ford and your platform heelsI could never figure out why you chose that particular place to meetAh, but you were right. it was perfect as I got in behind the wheel.Well, we drove that car all night into san antonAnd we slept near the alamo, your skin was so tender and soft.Way down in mexico you went out to find a doctor and you never came back.I would have gone on after you but I didnt feel like letting my head get blown off.Well, were drivin this car and the sun is comin up over the rockies,Now I know she aint you but shes here and shes got that dark rhythm in her soul.But Im too over the edge and I aint in the mood anymore to remember the times when I was your only manAnd she dont want to remind me. she knows this car would go out of control.Brownsville girl with your brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon aboveBrownsville girl, show me all around the world, brownsville girl, youre my honey love.Well, we crossed the panhandle and then we headed towards amarilloWe pulled up where henry porter used to live. he owned a wreckin lot outside of town about a mile.Ruby was in the backyard hanging clothes, she had her red hair tied back. she saw us come rolling up in a trail of dust.She said, "henry aint here but you can come on in, hell be back in a little while."Then she told us how times were tough and about how she was thinkin of bummin a ride back to where she started.But ya know, she changed the subject every time money came up.She said, "welcome to the land of the living dead." you could tell she was so broken-hearted.She said, "even the swap meets around here are getting pretty corrupt.""how far are yall going? " ruby asked us with a sigh."were going all the way til the wheels fall off and burn,til the sun peels the paint and the seat covers fade and the water moccasin dies."Ruby just smiled and said, "ah, you know some babies never learn."Something about that movie though, well I just cant get it out of my headBut I cant remember why I was in it or what part I was supposed to play.All I remember about it was gregory peck and the way people movedAnd a lot of them seemed to be lookin my way.Brownsville girl with your brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon aboveBrownsville girl, show me all around the world, brownsville girl, youre my honey love.Well, they were looking for somebody with a pompadour.I was crossin the street when shots rang out.I didnt know whether to duck or to run, so I ran."we got him cornered in the churchyard," I heard somebody shout.Well, you saw my picture in the corpus christi tribune. underneath it, it said, "a man with no alibi."You went out on a limb to testify for me, you said I was with you.Then when I saw you break down in front of the judge and cry real tears,It was the best acting I saw anybody do.Now Ive always been the kind of person that doesnt like to trespass but sometimes you just find yourself over the line.Oh if theres an original thought out there, I could use it right now.You know, I feel pretty good, but that aint sayin much. I could feel a whole lot better,If you were just here by my side to show me how.Well, Im standin in line in the rain to see a movie starring gregory peck,Yeah, but you know its not the one that I had in mind.Hes got a new one out now, I dont even know what its aboutBut Ill see him in anything so Ill stand in line.Brownsville girl with your brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon aboveBrownsville girl, show me all around the world, brownsville girl, youre my honey love.You know, its funny how things never turn out the way you had em planned.The only thing we knew for sure about henry porter is that his name wasnt henry porter.And you know there was somethin about you baby that I liked that was always too good for this worldJust like you always said there was something about me you liked that I left behind in the french quarter.Strange how people who suffer together have stronger connections than people who are most content.I dont have any regrets, they can talk about me plenty when Im gone.You always said people dont do what they believe in, they just do whats most convenient, then they repent.And I always said, "hang on to me, baby, and lets hope that the roof stays on."There was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice.I dont remember who I was or where I was bound.All I remember about it was it starred gregory peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in the back.Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down.Brownsville girl with your brownsville curls, teeth like pearls shining like the moon aboveBrownsville girl, show me all around the world, brownsville girl, youre my honey love.
