Deep Elem Blues Songtext
von Hamish Imlach

If you go to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes
Deep Elem women got them Deep Elem blues
Hey, pretty mama, papa′s got them Deep Elem blues

Well, I know a girl lives on the hill
She mightn't try it, but her sister will
Hey, pretty mama, papa′s got them Deep Elem blues


And I know a man, Buffalo Bill
He mightn't try it, but his buffalo will
Hey, pretty mama, papa's got them Deep Elem blues

Says we ought to marry, daddy says the same
I′d make a run for Frisco, but her daddy′s got dead aim
Hey, pretty mama, papa's got them Deep Elem blues

Well, her daddy was a policeman, mommy walked the street
They got together while they were on their beat
Hey, pretty mama, papa′s got them Deep Elem blues

I've got a girl in Deep Elem, one in Santa Fe
If they ever get together, I′ll have to make my getaway
Hey, pretty mama, papa's got them Deep Elem blues
