Artist/Band: Pete Seeger
Lyrics for Song: The Bourgeois Blues
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Pete Seeger



Lord, in a bourgeois town



It's a 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





Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs



We heard the white man say "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





Well, them white folks in Washington they know how



To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow



Lord, it's a bourgeois town



Uhm, the bourgeois town



I got the bourgeois blues



Gonna spread the news all around





I tell all the colored folks to listen to me



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



'Cause it's a bourgeois town



Uhm, the bourgeois town



I got the bourgeois blues



Gonna spread the news all around
