Lyrics Grateful Dead

Grateful Dead

New Minglewood Blues

I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

Oh, my number one occupation

Is stealing women from their men

Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas,

Busted jail and I'm gone for good.

Said, I'm a wanted man in Texas,

Busted jail and I'm gone for good.

Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me,

But his little girl sure wish she could.

Well now the doctor call me crazy,

Some says I am, some says I ain't,

Well now the doctor call me crazy,

Some says I am, some says I ain't,

Preacher man call me sinner

But his little girl calls me saint.

Well a couple shots of whiskey

Women `round here start looking good,

I said a couple shots of whiskey

Women `round here start looking good,

A couple more shots of whiskey,

I'm going down to Minglewood.

I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

Yes and my number one occupation

Is stealing women from their men

And I'll do it, do it again

I said my number one occupation

Is stealing women from their men
