                               E

your daddys got them deep elum blues



B

once i had a girlfriend

she meant the world to me

then she went down to deep elum

she aint what she used to be



chorus



once i knew a preacher

preached the bible through and through

he went down to deep elum

now his preachin days are through



chorus



when you go down to deep elum

to have a little fun

get your ten dollars ready

when the policeman comes



chorus



when you go down to deep elum

keep your money in your pants

cause the woman in deep elum

dont give men a chance
