The Bourgeois Blues Lyrics

[Intro]
This here's a song and a story about the bourgeois blues
About bourgeois people in a bourgeois town

[Verse 1]
Listen here, people, listen to me
Don't try to find no homes down in Washington D.C

[Chorus]
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around

[Verse 2]
Me and my wife Martha run all over that town
Everywhere we go, the people, they would turn us down

[Chorus]
Oh, bourgeois town
Oh, bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news around

[Verse 3]
Some white folks in Washington they know just how
Toss a black man a nickel just to see him scrapin' by

[Chorus]
Lord, in that bourgeois town
In that bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Spread the news all around

[Verse 4]
Me and my sweet wife Martha, we was standin' upstairs
We heard the white man say "Don't want no black folk up there"

[Chorus]
He was a bourgeois man
Livin' in that bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
I'm gonna spread the news all around

[Verse 5]
The say the home of the brave, land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie

[Chorus]
Lord, in a bourgeois town
That bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
I'm sure gonna spread the news
