New Minglewood Blues (Live at Capital Center, Landover, MD, September 25, 1976) lyrics

[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in the desert, raised in a lion’s den
See, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from other 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
Know she wish she would

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy
Sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Said the doctor call me crazy
Sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
See, the preacher man call me a sinner
But his little girl call me a saint

[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
See, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from other men
[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
See, 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
You see, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from other men
You see, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from other men
