Lyrics By: Traditional Music By: Traditional

1. Well if you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes Women in Deep Elem got them Deep Elem blues

Oh sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues Oh sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues

2. 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 [chorus]

3. When you go down to Deep Elem, have a little fun Have that ten dollars ready when the policeman comes [chorus]

4. Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through Went down to Deep Elem now his preaching days are through [chorus]

5. When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants The women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance [chorus]

6. When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your socks The redheads in Deep Elem, they'll put you on the rocks [chorus]
