Deb Cavanaugh - Deep Ellum Blues Lyrics

If you go down to Deep Ellum, put your money in your shoes
The people in Deep Ellum got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

If you go down to Deep Ellum, put your money in your pocket
The people in Deep Ellum they'll even take your watch and hock it
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

If you go down to Deep Ellum, you want to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the policeman comes
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

If you go down to Deep Ellum, keep your money in your pants
The people in Deep Ellum they won't give you a chance
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

Once I had a boyfriend, he meant the world to me
Then he went down to Deep Ellum, now he ain't what he used to be
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

Once I knew a preacher, he knew the bible through and through
Then he went down to Deep Ellum, now his preaching days are through
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues

If you go down to Deep Ellum, keep your money in your socks
The people in Deep Ellum, well, they sure know how to rock
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
Oh, sweet baby, your momma's got them Deep Ellum Blues
