paroles de chanson Bourgeois Blues - Leadbelly

Me and my wife run all over town
And everywhere we go, the people would turn us down
Lord, in a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around

Me and my wife we were standing upstairs
I heard the white man say'n I don't want no niggers up there
Lord, he a bourgeois man
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, I'm
Gonna spread the news all around
Instrumental

Me and my wife went all over town
And where we go, the colored people turn us down
Lord, in a bourgeois town
It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues, I'm
Gonna spread the news all around

Them white folks in Washington they know how
To call a man a nigger just to see him bow
Lord, it's a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues I'm
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 and I'm
Gonna spread the news
