Lyrics

If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes
Cuz the womens in Deep Elem give you 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

If you go down to Deep Elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the policeman come

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

Once knew a preacher, preached the Bible through and through
Went down to Deep Elem, now his preaching days are through

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

If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants
Cuz the womens in Deep Elem, they dont give no man a chance

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

If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes
Cuz the womens in Deep Elem give you 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
Oh sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues

---

Alternate verse, sung once with RatDog:

If you go down to Deep Elem, keep your money in your drawers
Cuz the womens in Deep Elem, they ain't nuthin but, nuthin but much but
