New Minglewood Blues (Live at Fillmore East NYC April 1971) lyrics
by Smokey Robinson
[Verse 1]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
My number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
[Verse 1]
If you're ever in Memphis
You best stop down Minglewood
If you're ever in Memphis
You best stop down Minglewood
Take a walk downtown there
Where all the women sure look good
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
If you're ever in Memphis
You best stop down Minglewood
If you're ever in Memphis
You best stop down Minglewood
Take a walk downtown there
Where all the women sure look good
[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
My number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
And I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
My number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
