Bourgeois Blues Songtext
Come along people, listen to me
Don′t try to find no home in Washington DC
Lord it's a bourgeois town, it′s a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
I'm gonna spread the news all around
Me and Martha were standing downstairs
Bossman said "Don't want no colored people here"
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
Home of the brave, land of the free I don′t want to be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord it's a bourgeois town ...
White folks in Washington they do know how
Throw a man a nickel just to see him bow
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
Come along people, listen to me
Don't try to find no home in Washington DC
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
Don′t try to find no home in Washington DC
Lord it's a bourgeois town, it′s a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
I'm gonna spread the news all around
Me and Martha were standing downstairs
Bossman said "Don't want no colored people here"
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
Home of the brave, land of the free I don′t want to be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord it's a bourgeois town ...
White folks in Washington they do know how
Throw a man a nickel just to see him bow
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
Come along people, listen to me
Don't try to find no home in Washington DC
Lord it′s a bourgeois town ...
