Deep Ellum Blues

When you go down in Deep Ellum, just to have a little fun
You better have fifteen dollars when that policeman comes
Chorus:
Oh sweet daddy, momma’s got them deep ellum blues
Oh sweet daddy, momma’s got them deep ellum blues
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went down to deep ellum, now his preaching days are through
(Chorus)
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 the women in Deep Ellum got them deep ellum blues
(Chorus)
