Deep Elm Blues Lyrics - Hank Thompson

When you go down to Deep Elem just to have a little fun 

Better have your fifteen dollars when the policeman comes 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

Now once I knew a preacher Preached the Bible through and through 

He went down to Deep Elem now his preachin' days are through 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

[ sax ] 

When you go down to Deep Elem put your money in your pants 

The women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

[ guitar ] 

If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes 

Them gals down in Deep Elem got them Deep Elem blues 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues 

Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
