[Verse 1]
If you go down to Deep Elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the policeman come
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Verse 2]
When you go down to Deep Elem, law in your socks
'Cause redheads in Deep Elem gonna put you on the rocks
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Once, I knew a preacher, preached the Bible through-and-through
He went down to Deep Elem, now his preachin' days are through
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Verse 4]
When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants
'Cause women in Deep Elem, they won't give a man a chance
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 5]
If you go down to Deep Elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the policeman come
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Verse 6]
If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants
The redheads in Deep Elem, they won't give a man a chance
[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Outro]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
