New Minglewood Blues [Verse 1] 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 Some says I am some says I ain’t Well now the doctor call me crazy Some says I am some says I ain’t Preacher man call me sinner But his little girl calls 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. I was born in the desert Raised in a lion’s den I was born in the desert Raised in a lion’s den Yes and my number one occupation Is stealing women from their men And I’ll do it do it again I said my number one occupation Is stealing women from their men Opening Riff: ---------------------------7--7--5--7----------------------| ---------------------------9--9--7--9----------------------| ---------------------------9--9--7--9----------------------| A----7--7p5--------7-----5--7--7--5--7----------------------| ------------7----------------------------------------------|
