(A. Young M. Young B. Johnson)

I've been enchained

She got shackles on me

That woman to blame

For the hell and misery

Can't find my way out of here

Shoot me down in a burnin' fear

Going down for a stretch of years

Way down below

I'm deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

Deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

I'm down in, down in

Down in the hole

Well I'm deep in, deep in

That woman got me deep in the hole



I'm sinkin' down

She got me down on the floor

Can't touch both walls

The further down I go

Pulls the string on my riding bow

Makes me sing when she find my load

Ain't no slave you do what you're told

You sold your soul

I'm deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

Deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

I'm down in, down in

Down in the hole

Well I'm deep in, deep in

That woman got me deep in the hole



I'm deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

Deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

I'm down in, down in

Down in the hole

I'm deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

Deep in the hole, firing your load

Deep in the hole, save your soul

Deep in, deep in

Deep in the hole

Deep in, deep in

That woman got me deep in the hole



Deep in the hole

Deep in the hole

I'm deep in the hole
