Deep Elm Blues

If you go down to Deep Ellum

Put your money in your shoes

'Cause the women in Deep Ellum

Sure will give a man the blues

Oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

I said oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

When you go down to Deep Ellum

You put your money in your pants

'Cause the women in Deep Ellum

Will not give that man a chance

Oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

I said oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

Keep your shoes on in Deep Ellum

'Cause you just might have to run

All the women in Deep Ellum

Carry a switchblade and a gun

Oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

Oh sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues

Got 'em from the top of my head

To the bottom of my Deep Ellum shoes

Whoa whoa whoa sweet mama

Daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
