lead belly - bourgeois blues (1944) lyrics

[verse 1]
listen here people
listen to me
don’t try to by no home down in washington d.c
cause it’s a bourgeois town
woo it’s a bourgeois town
i got the bourgeois blues i’m gonna spread the news all around

[verse 2]
me and my sweet wife mrs. monica
run all over that town
everywhere we go the people they would turn us town
lord in a bourgeois town
woo it’s bourgeois town
i got the bourgeois i’m gonna spread the news all around

[verse 3]
some white folks in washington
they know just how
call a colored man a n+gga just to see him bow low
in a bourgeois town
woo it’s a bourgeois town
i got the bourgеois blues i’m gonna spread the nеws all around

[verse 4]
me and my sweet wife marthy
was dining upstairs
i heard a white man say “i don’t want no negroes up there!”
he was a bourgeois man
living in a bourgeois town
i got the bourgeois i’m gonna spread the news all around
[verse 5]
this is the home of the brave
the land of the free
i don’t wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
lord in a bourgeois town
woo it’s a bourgeois town
i got the bourgeois blues i’m gonna spread the news all around
