"New Minglewood Blues" lyrics

Grateful Dead Lyrics

"New Minglewood Blues"

I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

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

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
The preacher man call me a sinner
But his little girl call me a saint

Couple of shots of whiskey, women 'round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, women 'round here start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey
I'm goin' down to Minglewood

T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuctoo
T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuctoo
Yes and it's T for
Where the little girls know what to do
