I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion’s den

Raised in a lion’s den

Well, I’m a wanted man in Texas,
G E
Busted jail and I’m gone for good.

Busted jail and I’m gone for good.
B
Well, the sheriff couldn’t catch me,
E
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
