The Bourgeois Blues - Lead Belly/Sonny Terry
Me and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went people turned us down
Lord in a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well me and my wife we were standing upstairs
We heard the white man say'n I don't want no niggers up there
Lord in a bourgeois town
Uhm bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Home of the brave land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord in a bourgeois town
Uhm the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well them white folks in Washington they know how
To call a colored man a n****r just to see him bow
Lord it's a bourgeois town
Uhm the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me
Don't try to find you no home in Washington DC
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
Uhm the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me
Don't try to find you no home in Washington DC
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
Uhm the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news
