Levon Helm - Deep Elem Blues lyrics

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 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
