Can't hear the guitars, man
[Verse 1]

Have your ten dollars when the policemen come

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

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

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

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

Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elеm blues
Whoa, sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues

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

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