Deep Ellem Blues

Joe & Bob Shelton

As rendered by The Grateful Dead:

[E]If You Go Down To Deep Elem

[E]Put Your Money In Your Shoes

[E]The Women In Deep Elem

[E]Got them [E7]Deep Elem Blues

---

Chorus:

[A7]Oh, sweet Mama,

Your Daddy’s Got Them Deep Elem [E]Blues

[B]Oh, sweet Mama,

Your Daddy’s Got Them Deep Elem [E]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
