Sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Said now the doctor call me crazy
Sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't

I'm going down to Minglewood
[Chorus]
Said, I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Said, I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Yes and my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
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
