Song by Lead Belly<br /><br>

Lord, in a bourgeois town <br>

It's a bourgeois town <br>

I got the bourgeois blues <br>

Gonna spread the news all around <br>

<br>

Home of the brave, land of the free <br>

I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie <br>

Lord, in a bourgeois town <br>

Uhm, the bourgeois town <br>

I got the bourgeois blues <br>

Gonna spread the news all around <br>

<br>

Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs <br>

We heard the white man say "I don't want no niggers up there" <br>

Lord, in a bourgeois town <br>

Uhm, bourgeois town <br>

I got the bourgeois blues <br>

Gonna spread the news all around <br>

<br>

Well, them white folks in Washington they know how <br>

To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow <br>

Lord, it's a bourgeois town <br>

Uhm, the bourgeois town <br>

I got the bourgeois blues <br>

Gonna spread the news all around <br>

<br>

I tell all the colored folks to listen to me <br>

Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC <br>

`Cause it's a bourgeois town <br>

Uhm, the bourgeois town <br>

I got the bourgeois blues <br>

Gonna spread the news all around<br>

<br>
