Traditional
New Minglewood Blues (Live at UNI-Dome, Cedar Falls, IA, February 5, 1978)
[Intro]
One, two, three

[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Yes, and my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Verse 1]
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, now, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Say now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
You see, the preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint

[Chorus]
Well, I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Well, now, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Said I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Yes, and my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Outro]
Yes, and my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
