==== Verses ====

If you go down to Deep Ellum, \\
Just to have a little fun, \\
You better have your fifteen dollars \\
For when the policeman comes. \\
Oh, sweet mama, daddy’s got them Deep Ellum blues [2×]

If you go down to Deep Ellum, \\
Keep your money in your shoes, \\
’Cause the women of Deep Ellum \\
Got them Deep Ellum blues. \\
Oh, sweet mama, daddy’s got them Deep Ellum blues [2×]

If you go down to Deep Ellum, \\
Keep your money in your pants, \\
’Cause the redheads of Deep Ellum \\
Won’t give an honest man a chance. \\
Oh, sweet mama, daddy’s got them Deep Ellum blues [2×]

Once there was a preacher, \\
Knew the Bible through and through. \\
He took a trip down to Deep Ellum, \\
And now his preaching days are through. \\
Oh, sweet mama, daddy’s got them Deep Ellum blues [2×]

Once I had a sweetheart; \\
She meant the world to me. \\
She took a trip down to Deep Ellum; \\
Now she ain’t what she used to be. \\
Oh, sweet mama, daddy’s got them Deep Ellum blues [2×]
