Ry Cooder Lyrics

   Ry Cooder has had a long and varied career as virtuoso session musician, recording artist, record producer, film scorer, musicologist and champion of indigenous music throughout the world. He started out as a guitarist of uncommon skill in Los Angeles folk music circles. He was briefly in a band with Taj Mahal called Rising Sons, and was also a part of Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. His slide guitar playing and his ability with just about any stringed instrument soon set him apart. As well as playing numerous sessions in the '60s, he worked with the Rolling Stones and is probably responsible for pointing Keith Richards in the direction of the open-tuned guitar sound that has become his trademark. Cooder's solo albums feature dramatic reworkings of some old and sometimes obscure material. He has worked extensively writing and playing movie soundtracks, such as the eerie, atmospheric Paris, Texas and The Long Riders. Cooder has most recently been active with world music, recording a very popular album with African guitarist Ali Farka Toure. His latest and most prominent role is that of producer for an ad hoc group of Cuban musicians on a recording called The Buena Vista Social Club, which has revived the careers of a number of musicians, as well as being massively popular critically and commercially.

Ry Cooder lyrics

Ry Cooder Song Lyric:

Bourgeois Blues

(huddie ledbetter/alan lomax)
(g7) - (c7) - (g) - (d7)

(g7) me and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went people turned us down
Lord, in a (c7) bourgeois town
It’s a (g) bourgeois town
I got the (d7) bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all a- (g) round

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
