Deep Elem Blues

Deep Elem Blues

When you go down in Deep Elem,
Just to have a little fun.
Better have fifteen dollars,
When the policeman comes.

Chorus:
And it’s oh sweet mama,
Daddy’s got them Deep Elem blues.
Oh,  sweet mama,
Daddy’s got them Deep Elem blues.

When you go down in Deep Elem,

Them Deep Elem women,
They will throw you on the rocks. (Chorus)

Otto Wood the Bandit

By Wayne Erbsen

July 10th isn’t a day to watch the fireworks, have a picnic, wave a flag, or sing The Star Spangled Banner. Nope. July 10th is the anniversary of the day in 1931 that the famed outlaw Otto Wood made his tenth and final escape from Central Prison in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Central Prison was not a place to have a tea party on the lawn. Completed at a cost of $1.25 million in December, 1884, it was the first prison built in North Carolina. They say it took inmates 14 years to construct the original castle-like
