Lyrics Levon Helm – Deep Elem Blues
Text:
If you go down to deep elm put your money in your shoes
The women in deep elem, they give you the deep elem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy’s got them deep elem blues
Once I had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me
She went down to deep elem, now, she ain’t what she used to be
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through
When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the police man comes
When yo go down to deep elem put your money in your pants
‘Cause the women in deep elem, they don’t give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy’s got them deep elem blues
