Grateful Dead - Deep Elem Blues Lyrics

Artist: Grateful Dead

Album: Reckoning

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Jerome J Garcia, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Philip Lesh, Traditional, Robert Hall Weir

If you go down to Deep Elem, 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 down 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 you 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
