Bourgeois Blues (1944) Lead Belly

[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 nigga 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
