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
