Bob Dylan Brownsville Girl Lyrics:
Well there was this movie I seen one time About a
man riding across the desert and starred Gregory
Peck He was shot down by a hungry kid trying to
make a name for himself The town's people wanted
to crush that kid down and string him up by the
neck.

Well the Marshall now he beat that kid to a bloody
pulp As 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 it's like to every moment
face his death.

Well I keep seeing this stuff and it just comes
a-rolling in And you know it blows right through
me like a ball and chain You know I can't believe
we've lived so long and are still so far apart The
memory of you keeps calling after me like a
rolling train.

I can still see the day that you came to me on the
pinked desert In your busted down Ford and your
platform heels I could never figure out why you
chose that particular place to meet Ah, but you
were right it was perfect as I got in behind the
wheel.

Well we drove that car all night 'til we got into
San Anton' And 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 didn't feel
like letting my head get blow off.

Well we're driving this car and the sun is coming
up over the Rockies Now I know she ain't you but
she's here and she's got that dark rhythm in her
soul But I'm too over the edge and I ain't in the
mood anymore to remember the times when I was your
only man And she don't 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 above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world.
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.Well we
crossed the panthandle and then we headed towards
Amarillo We pulled up where Henry Porter used to
live. He owned a wrecking 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
ain't here but you can come on in he'll be back in
a little while".

Then she told us how times were tough and about
how she was thinking of bumming a ride back to
where she started But 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 pretty corrupt".

"How far are you all going ?" Ruby asked us with a
sigh "We're going all the way until the wheels
fall off and burn Until 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
can't get it out of my head But I can't 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 moved And a lot of them seemed to
be looking my way.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth
like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world.
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.

Well they were looking for somebody with a
pompadour I was crossing the street when shots
rang out I didn't 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 I've always been the kind of person that
doesn't like to trepass but sometimes you just
find yourself over the line Oh if there's an
original thought out there I could use it right
now You now I feel pretty good but that ain't
saying much I could feel a whole lot better If you
were just here by my side to show me how. Well I'm
standing in line in the rain to see a movie
starring Gregory Peck Yeh but you know it's not
the one I had in mind He's got a new one out now I
don't even know what it's about But I'll se him in
anything so I'll stand in line.

Brownsville girl with your Brownsville curls Teeth
like pearls shining like the moon above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.

You know it's funny how things never turn out the
way you had them planned The only things we knew
for sure about Henry Porter is that his name
wasn't Henry Porter And you know there was
something about you baby that I liked that was
always too good for this world Just 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 don't have any regrets they can talk
about me plenty when I'm gone You always said
people don't do what they believe in they just do
what's most convenient then they repent And I
always said. "Hang on to me baby and let's hope
that the roof stays on".

There was a movie I seen one time I think I sat
through it twice I don't 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 above
Brownsville girl show me all around the world
Brownsville girl you're my honey love.
