Bourgeois Blues

Lyrics

Me and my wife run all over town
 And everywhere we go, the people would turn us down
 Lord, in a bourgeois town
 It's a bourgeois town
 I got the bourgeois blues
 Gonna spread the news all around
 Me and my wife we were standing upstairs
 I heard the white man say'n I don't want no niggers up there
 Lord, he a bourgeois man
 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, I'm
 Gonna spread the news all around
 Instrumental
 Me and my wife went all over town
 And where we go, the colored people turn us down
 Lord, in a bourgeois town
 It's a bourgeois town
 I got the bourgeois blues, I'm
 Gonna spread the news all around
 Them white folks in Washington they know how
 To call a man a nigger just to see him bow
 Lord, it's a bourgeois town
 Uhm, the bourgeois town
 I got the bourgeois blues I'm
 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 and I'm
 Gonna spread the news
