I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

I was born in the desert

Raised in a lion's den

Is stealing women from their men



            A

Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas,

G                            E

Busted jail and I'm gone for good.

            A

Said, I'm a wanted man in Texas,

G                            E

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
