All 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
And 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
Well 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

Yes and the doctor call me crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
Yes and the 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

Well a couple of shots of whiskey, women round here start lookin' good
Well a couple of shots of whiskey, women round here start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey, I'm goin' back to Minglewood

It's T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuktu
It's T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuktu
Yes and it's T for San Francisco
Where the little girls know what to do

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

1. In early performances, Bob sang "sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't" instead of "some says I am, some says I ain't."

2. In early performances, verses four and five were omitted.

3. Bob often sang several variations to the "women round here start lookin' good" line, often integrating the city that the Dead were playing. For example:

"Those dizzy minnies start looking good"

"Those Oakland fillies start looking good"

4. Bob often sang "Yes and it's T right here in Oakland" (or whichever city the Dead were playing) instead of "Yes and it's T for San Francisco."
