Me and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went,
people turned us down
Lord, in a bush war town,
ooh, in a bush war town
I got the bourgeois blues,
gon na spread the news all around
Home of the brave, land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated
by no bourgeoisie
In a bourgeois town,
ooh, in a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well, me and my wife were
standing upstairs
Heard a white man say,
I don't want no niggas up there
Lord, in that Bushwau town,
in that Bushwau town
I got the Bushwau blues,
spread the news all around.
Well the white folks in Washington
sure know how to call a colored man
a nigger just to see him bow.
Lord in a bourgeois town,
it's a bourgeois town,
got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all
around
I tell the colored folks,
y 'all listen to me,
don't you try to find no home in Washington,
D .C., because it's bushwild time.
It's bushwild time.
I got the bushwild blues,
gonna spread the news all around.
