Bourgeois Blues

Leadbelly

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 ...
