Bourgeois Blues Lyrics
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
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, me and my wife wе were standing upstairs
We hеard the white man say "I don't want no niggers up there"
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 sure know how
To call a colored man a nigga just to see him bow
Lord, it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, it's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
I tell the colored folks to all listen to me
Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, it's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
