Versuri 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, 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 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.
