i don't know why you'd paste beatles lyrics in a place like that, although that is one of their longest songs. i don't know if i'm in a position to where i'd voluntarily go finding out if i can sink or swim or not, but i see what you're at here. I think I will take that into consideration though, that my options may be sort of odd and not super hot, as usual. eval. if then, hm? you think i'd make an honest man? I'd prefer it, mostly. Hardly a man at all some days. Shitting my pants not knowing what to do is a funny thing i like to do at times.
If you go down to deep elem put your money in your shoes
The women in deep elem, they give you the deep elem blues
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues
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
Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
He went sown to deep elem, now, his preaching days are through
When you go down to deep elem to have a little fun
Have your ten dollars ready when the police man comes
When yo go down to deep elem put your money in your pants
'Cause the women in deep elem, they don't give a man a chance
Oh, sweet mama, your daddy's got them deep elem blues

(1) the order of verses in various versions is: Dick's Picks 8: 1,2,3,4,5 -- Reckoning: 1,4,6,3,1 -- Almost Acoustic: 3,1,4,2,3 -- Garcia/Nelson 1962: 3,4,5,6,3 -- (2) Garcia varies between singing "Well if you go down to Deep Elem" and "When you go down to Deep Elem". (3) sometimes "got to have a little fun" or "just to have a little fun" (4) "ten dollars" is the most common. But the Prairie Ramblers and Dead Ringers have "fifteen dollars". And on Almost Acoustic, Garcia sings the first verse with "ten dollars" and the last with "twenty dollars"! (5) sometimes "The fellas in Deep Elem" and sometimes "won't give a man a chance" (6) sometimes "... keep your money in your socks" (7) the Good Old Boys have "Good lookin' women ..." and Dead Ringers have "they will throw you on the rocks"
The breadcrumbs ain't hitting like they used to, but if you want to give me the blues sometime, well, I would prefer ragtime, I think. Just have some self respect.
Again, baby you can drive my cdr, sure, but I'm doing the one thing with my friend and my friend has a mind of his own about how we ride. i've lost the keys, i guess, but that doesn't keep you eating out of the garbage can when things get hectic. Thank you for your love and concern.
