Brownsville Girl

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 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 callin' after me like a rollin' train.

I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted 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 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 blown off.

Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' 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 panhandle and then we headed towards amarillo
We 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 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 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 y'all going?'' ruby asked us with a sigh.
''we're 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 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 lookin' 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 crossin' 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, ''aman 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 trespass 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 know, i feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much. i could feel a whole lot better,
If you were just here by my side to show me how.

Well, i'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring gregory peck,
Yeah, but you know it's not the one that i had in mind.
He's got a new one out now, i don't even know what it's about
But i'll see 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 'em planned.
The only thing we knew for sure about henry porter is that his name wasn't henry porter.
And you know there was somethin' 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.

布朗斯维尔女孩
有一次我看了一个电影,
讲的是一个男人骑马穿过沙漠,格里高利·派克演的。
他被一个急切渴望成名的小子一枪射倒在地,
镇上的人要把那个小子撕碎,勒住他的脖子要把他绞死。
警长把那小子揍成了肉酱,
这时躺在阳光里垂死的枪手吐出了他的最后一句话。
“松开他,让他走吧,让他去说他是在决斗中堂堂正正地赢了我。
我要让他尝尝时刻面对死亡的滋味。”
我会不断地再看到这一幕,它会从我的脑袋里自己蹦出来。
它像一个链球一样,时不时地在我的心头狠狠一击。
你知道,我无法相信我们活了这么久却还是相隔如此遥远,
对你的记忆不断呼唤着我,就像一辆轰鸣而过的火车。
我还清楚得记得,那天你把我约到了彩色沙漠,
开着你那辆破福特车,脚踩着一双厚底鞋。
我怎么也想不明白你干嘛要选在那个地方见我,
但你是对的,等我坐上驾驶座,才发现一切是如此的完美无缺。
我们开了一整夜,一路到了圣安东尼奥,
然后在阿拉莫附近睡下,你的皮肤是如此柔软嫩滑。
深入墨西哥后你下车去找医生,就再也没有回来。
我是想跟着你去,但又不想让我的脑袋气到爆炸。
现在我们正开着车,太阳正从落基山脉上渐渐升起。
我知道她不是你,但此刻她在我身边,她的灵魂里也有那种黑色的东西。
但我已完全丧失了理智,不再有心情去回忆我是你唯一的那段日子。
她也不想让我再想起。她知道这辆车早晚会失去控制。
布朗斯维尔女孩,布朗斯维尔式的卷发,珍珠般的牙齿,闪亮如天上明月。
布朗斯维尔女孩,带着我四处去看看吧,布朗斯维尔女孩,你是我甜蜜的爱人。
我们穿越了狭长地,一路开往阿马里洛。
我们在亨利·波特住的地方停下,他在镇外一英里的地方有块拆除场。
露比在后院晾着衣服,一头红发扎在头后。她看到了我们过来,身后扬起一道尘土。
她说“亨利没在,你们进来吧,他马上就回来。”
然后她告诉我们世道多么不景气,她总想着搭便车回到最初的地方。
但每次一聊到钱,她又把话题岔开。
她说,“欢迎来到这活死人之地。”心碎写在她脸上。
她说,“就连附近的交易市场都相当腐败。”
“你们要走多远?”露比叹了口气问。
“我们要一路走下去,直到车轮掉落燃烧,
直到车漆晒落,座套褪色,直到噬鱼蛇殒命。
露比只是笑了笑,说“你知道,有些孩子就是永远也长不了记性。”
那部电影里的一些东西,却总在我脑中挥之不去。
但我又记不起为什么我会在里面,记不得哪个角色该由我来扮演。
我能记得的只有格里高里·派克、人们移动的方式,
还有好多人似乎在朝我这边看。
布朗斯维尔女孩,布朗斯维尔式的卷发,珍珠般的牙齿,闪亮如天上明月。
布朗斯维尔女孩,带着我四处去看看吧,布朗斯维尔女孩,你是我甜蜜的爱人。
他们在找一个梳着大背头的男人。
我过马路时枪声响了起来。
我不知道该躲还是该跑,所以我跑了。
“我们把他逼到教堂墓地里了!”我听见有人喊到。
你在《科珀斯克里斯蒂论坛报》上看到了我的照片,下面写着“一个没有不在场证明的男人”。
你冒险前去为我作证,说当时我和你在一起。
当你在法官面前痛哭流涕时,
我见到了这辈子见过最好的演技。
我一直都是那种不愿越轨的人,但有时人会发现不知不觉已跨过了界线。
如果谁有什么独到的办法,我现在很需要拿来一用。
你知道我现在感觉挺不错,但这说明不了什么。我还可以比现在好得多,
如果你能在我身边,给我示范如何可以更加快乐。
我现在在雨中排着队,去看一部格里高利·派克主演的电影。
但你知道,并不是之前总在我脑海里出现的那一部。
他拍了部新作,我都不知道讲的是什么,
但他演什么我都原意看,所以我就站在这里排着。
布朗斯维尔女孩,布朗斯维尔式的卷发,珍珠般的牙齿,闪亮如天上明月。
布朗斯维尔女孩,带着我四处去看看吧,布朗斯维尔女孩,你是我甜蜜的爱人。
你知道,有意思的是,计划和结果永远南辕北辙。
关于亨利·波特,我们唯一确知的就是他不叫亨利·波特。
你知道,宝贝,你身上有一种我喜欢的特质,一种这个世界永远都配不上的东西。
就像你一直所说的,我身上也有一种你喜欢东西,它被我落在了法国区。
奇怪的是,共患难的人总是比最富足的人关系更加紧密。
我一点也不后悔,我走后他们说我什么都无所谓。
你总是说,人们并不按所信奉的原则行事,他们只是抄一条最方便的路,然后再去后悔。
而我总是说,“抓紧我吧,宝贝。但愿这屋顶能一直在我们头上。”
曾经有一部电影,我想我应该是坚持看完了两遍。
我不记得我是电影里的谁,也不记得我是要去哪里。
我只记得是格里高利·派克演的,他佩着一把枪,被人从背后射杀。
那好像是很久之前的事了,早在众星被击落以前。
布朗斯维尔女孩,布朗斯维尔式的卷发,珍珠般的牙齿,闪亮如天上明月。
布朗斯维尔女孩,带着我四处去看看吧,布朗斯维尔女孩,你是我甜蜜的爱人。

Brownsville Girl

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 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 callin' after me like a rollin' train.

I can still see the day that you came to me on the painted 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 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 blown off.

Well, we're drivin' this car and the sun is comin' 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 panhandle and then we headed towards amarillo
We 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 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 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 y'all going?'' ruby asked us with a sigh.
''we're 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 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 lookin' 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 crossin' 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, ''aman 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 trespass 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 know, i feel pretty good, but that ain't sayin' much. i could feel a whole lot better,
If you were just here by my side to show me how.

Well, i'm standin' in line in the rain to see a movie starring gregory peck,
Yeah, but you know it's not the one that i had in mind.
He's got a new one out now, i don't even know what it's about
But i'll see 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 'em planned.
The only thing we knew for sure about henry porter is that his name wasn't henry porter.
And you know there was somethin' 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.
