Lyrics and translation Hank Thompson - Deep Elm Blues

Deep Elm Blues

When you go down to Deep Elem just to have a little fun
Better have your fifteen dollars when the policeman comes
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
Now once I knew a preacher Preached the Bible through and through
He went down to Deep Elem now his preachin′ days are through
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
[ Sax ]
When you go down to Deep Elem put your money in your pants
The women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
[ Guitar ]
If you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes
Them gals down in Deep Elem got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama papa got them Deep Elem blues

Deep Elm Blues

Quand tu descends à Deep Elem juste pour t'amuser un peu
Prépare tes quinze dollars quand le flic arrive
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
Maintenant, je connaissais un prédicateur qui prêchait la Bible de fond en comble
Il est descendu à Deep Elem, maintenant ses jours de prêche sont terminés
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
[ Sax ]
Quand tu descends à Deep Elem, mets ton argent dans ton pantalon
Les femmes de Deep Elem ne laissent aucune chance à un homme
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
[ Guitare ]
Si tu descends à Deep Elem, mets ton argent dans tes chaussures
Ces filles de Deep Elem ont le blues de Deep Elem
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
Oh ma douce, mon papa a le blues de Deep Elem
