[Lyric] New Minglewood Blues Live at Community War Memorial Rochester NY November 5 1977 (The Grateful Dead)

[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
This is 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
I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
See, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
Easy now

[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, sometimеs I ain't
See, the preacher man call mе 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
Said my number one occupation
Is stealing women from other 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
See, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Outro]
Said my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
