[Lyric] New Minglewood Blues Live at UNI-Dome Cedar Falls IA February 5 1978 (The Grateful Dead)

[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]

[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]

[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
