  Here's "Deep Elem Blues" as done by Jerry Garcia and his (then new, now ex)

  wife, Sara, on a 1963 bootleg. They do it bluegrass style. Very nice! 

  

  "Deep Elem" is Elm Street, the old red-light district in (I think?) Dallas.

  

  

  CRD: Deep Elem Blues (traditional, CRD by Bo Parker, Bo.Parker@msfc.nasa.gov)

  

  G

  Once I knew a preacher,

  Preached the Bible through and through,

  He went down to Deep Elem,

  Now his preachin' days are through.

  

  Chorus:

  

  C7

  Oh sweet mama

                                  G

  Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.

  D7

  Oh sweet mama

                                  G

  Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.

  

  G

  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.

  

  [chorus]

  

  G

  When you go down to Deep Elem,

  Put your money in your socks.

  'Cause them women in Deep Elem

  Will sure put you on the rocks.

  

  [chorus]

  

  G

  If you go down to Deep Elem

  To have a little fun,

  Have your ten dollars ready

  When the policeman comes.

  

  [chorus]

  

  Enjoy
