Once I knew a preacher,
He preached The Bible through
But he went down to Deep Elem
Now his preachin' days are through
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Once I had a girlfriend,
She meant the world to me
But she went down to Deep Elem
Now 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
If you go down to Deep Elem,
Put your money in your socks
Because the women in Deep Elem
Will sure put you on your rocks
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, 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, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
Oh sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Elem Blues
