New Minglewood Blues Live at Brendan Byrne Arena East Rutherford NJ April 1 1988 by The Grateful Dead Lyrics
[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing womens from their other men
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
Sure she would
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint
[Verse 3]
Couple shots of whiskey, women 'round here start looking
Couple shots of whiskey, those Jersey fillies start looking
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood
Minglewood
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Well, it's T for Texas, yeah, and it's T for Timbuktu
T for Texas, yes, and it's T for Timbuktu
It's T right here in Jersey, where little girls know what to do
What to do
[Outro]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing womens from their other men
Can I do it, do it again?
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing womens from their other men
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing womens from their other men
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
Sure she would
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint
[Verse 3]
Couple shots of whiskey, women 'round here start looking
Couple shots of whiskey, those Jersey fillies start looking
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm going down to Minglewood
Minglewood
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Well, it's T for Texas, yeah, and it's T for Timbuktu

I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den

Can I do it, do it again?
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing womens from their other men
