All New Minglewood Blues
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



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, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Said now the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Yes, and the preacher man call me sinner
But his little girl call 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

Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den
Said, I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den
Yes and my number one occupation is stealing women from their men

I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den
Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
