[Verse 1]
When you go down to Deep Ellum just to have a little fun
Better bring fifty dollars when that police man come
[Chorus]
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
[Verse 2]
When you go down to Deep Ellum, put some money in your pants
'Cause all them pretty women never give a man a chance
[Chorus]
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
When you go down to Deep Ellum, put some money in your sock
Or them red-headed women gonna throw you on the rock
[Chorus]
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Well, I once I knew a preacher, preached the Bible through and through
He went down to Deep Ellum, now his preaching days are through
[Chorus]
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
I said, woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
[Verse 5]
Well, when you go down to Deep Ellum just to have a little fun
Better bring fifty dollars when that police man come, yeah
[Chorus]
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
Woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
I said, woah, sweet mama, daddy's got them Deep Ellum blues
[Outro]
