The Bourgeois Blues (Live)

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 nigger 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
