If you go down to deep elm 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 had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me
|
She went down to deep elem, now, she ain't what she used to be
|
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
|
He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through
|
|
When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun
|
Have your ten dollars ready when the police man comes
|
When yo 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
|
