Verse 1 -
When you go down to Deep Ellum, put yo’ money in ya shoes
Cuz the ladies in Deep Ellum, will take it all from you
Tell sweet momma, ain’t got no money in these pants
If she’s from Deep Ellum man, you really ain’t got a chance

She hung around Deep Ellum and ain’t what she used to be
Oh sweet momma, came to break the lousy news
Took my heart to Texas and left me with them Deep Ellum blues
Verse 3 -
The white men got their country, and the black folk got their blues
But when they sing about Deep Ellum, don’t matter what you choose
Oh sweet momma, how you find the money in my shoes?
A banjo or a jazz guitar, we all gots the same to lose
Verse 4 -
Once I knew a preacher, wanted to have a little fun
Went down to Deep Ellum and bought himself a gun
Disciple of the Lord, once preached the Bible through and through
Went down to Deep Ellum, now his preachin’ days is through
