[Intro]
Can't hear the guitars, man

[Verse 1]
If you go down to Deep Elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars when the policemen come

[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues

[Verse 2]
Once I had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me
Went down to Deep Elem, now she ain't what she used to be

[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues

[Verse 3]
If you go down to Deep Elem with your money in your shoes
The women in Deep Elem got thеm Deep Elem blues

[Chorus]
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elеm blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Well, 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 5]
Go down to Deep Elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the old policemen come

[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
