Lyrics
Bourgeois Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 ...
