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 |
|

|
To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow |
|
Lord, it's a bourgeois town |
|
Uhm, the bourgeois town |
|

|
Gonna spread the news all around |
