New Minglewood Blues (Live at Nassau Coliseum, May 15-16, 1980)
[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their other men

[Verse 1]
Said 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
Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
See now, the doctor call me crazy, some says I am, some says I ain't
Well, the preacher man call me a sinner, but his little girl call me a saint

[Verse 3]
See now, a couple of shots of whiskey, women 'round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, these New York girls start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm goin' down to Minglewood

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 4]
Well, it's T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuktu
Well, it's T for Texas, yes it is T for Timbuktu
Yes and it's T for New York City
Where the little girls know what to do

[Chorus]
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women's from their other men
(And now do it, do it again) Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their other men
