Deep Ellum Blues

When you go down in Deep Ellum,
Just to have a little fun.
Better have 15 dollars,
When that policeman comes.
Oh sweet Daddy, Mama’s got those Deep Ellum Blues.
Oh sweet daddy, Mama’s got those deep Ellum Blues.
Once I knew a preacher,
Preached the Bible through and through.
He went down Deep Ellum,
Now his preaching days are through.
Oh sweet daddy, mama’s got them deep Ellum blues.
Oh sweet daddy, mama’s got them Deep Ellum blues.
Once I had a man,
He meant the world to me.
He went down in Deep Ellum,
Now he ain’t that kind to me.
If you go down in Deep Ellum,
Put your money in your shoes.
Cause them women in Deep Ellum,
Got them Deep Ellum Blues.
Oh sweet daddy, mamas got them Deep Ellum Blues.
Oh sweet daddy, mamas got them Deep Ellum Blues.
Oh sweet daddy, mamas got them Deep Ellum Blues.
