If you go down in Deep Elem
Keep your money in your shoes
The girls down in Deep Elem
Can give a guy the blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
If you go down in Deep Elem
Keep your money in your socks
The girls down in Deep Elem
Are gonna put you on the rocks
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Well, I once had a sweetheart
She was all the world to me
She went down in Deep Elem
She ain't what she used to be
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
And I once knew a preacher
Knew the Bible through and through
He went down in Deep Elem
Now his preaching days are through
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy got them Deep Elem blues
If you go down in Deep Elem
Just to have a little fun
You better have your fifteen dollars
When that big policeman comes
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
If you go down in Deep Elem
Keep your money in your pants
The girls down in Deep Elem
Just won't give a guy a chance
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh, sweet mama
Daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
