Now if you go down to Deep Elem
Put your money in your shoes
'Cause those women in Deep Elem
Got those Deep Elem Blues
Well, mama, your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, sugar
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues

Now when you walk into the parlor
Hang your hat up on the rack
Telephone your good looking daddy
Honey, you ain't coming back
Well, mama, I got those Deep Elem Blues
I got those Deep Elem Blues
Let me tell you something baby
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Yeah

Well you go down in Deep Elm
Put your money in your sock
The redheads in Deep Elem
Put a man out on the rock
Well, mama, daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, baby
Your daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, baby
You sure look good to me
When we go down in Deep Elem
You look like a Christmas tree
Well, mama, I got those Deep Elem Blues
Now let me tell you something, baby
Daddy's got those Deep Elem Blues
