Deep Elem Blues

When you go down to deep Elem

To have a little fun

Have your ten dollars ready

When that tall police man comes

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues

If you go down to deep Elem

Put your money in your shoes

The women in deep Elem

They give you the deep Elem blues

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues

Once I knew a preacher

Preached the Bible through and through

He went down to deep Elem

Now his preaching days are through

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues

Once I had a girlfriend

She meant the world to me

She went down to deep Elem

Now she ain't what she used to be

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues

When you go down to deep Elem

To have a little fun

Have your ten dollars ready

When that tall police man comes

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues

When you go down to deep Elem

Put your money in your pants

'Cause the women in deep Elem

They don't give a man a chance

Oh, sweet mama

Your daddy's got them deep Elem blues
