Free And Equal Blues - Josh White[00:00:00]

I went down to that St James Infirmary[00:00:07]

I saw some plasma there[00:00:11]

I up'd and asked that doctor man[00:00:15]

Now was the donor dark or fair[00:00:17]

The doctor laughed a great big laugh[00:00:21]

And he puffed it right in my face[00:00:24]

He says[00:00:26]

A molecule is a molecule son[00:00:26]

And the d**n thing has no race[00:00:29]

And that was news yes that was news[00:00:32]

That was very very very special news[00:00:36]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:00:39]

Free and equal blues[00:00:41]

I never knew that in a plasma[00:00:46]

Test tube there could be[00:00:48]

White man black man yellow man red[00:00:50]

Well that's just what that doctor said[00:00:53]

So he put down his doctor book[00:00:55]

Gave me a very scientific look[00:00:56]

And spoke out plain and clear and rational and said[00:00:57]

Metabolism's international[00:01:00]

And that was news that was news[00:01:02]

That was very very very special news[00:01:06]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:01:09]

Free and equal blues[00:01:12]

Then he rigged up his microscope with some royal blue blood[00:01:17]

It was the same as chun king[00:01:20]

Queeker chap coscow chatanooga timbuktu blood[00:01:22]

Those men think they know the corpuscle's global[00:01:24]

And international racial supremacy[00:01:26]

Flying in the face of old man chemistry[00:01:28]

Taking all the facts and trying to twist 'em[00:01:30]

But you can't overthrow the circulatory system[00:01:32]

And that was news that was news[00:01:36]

That was very very very special news[00:01:39]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:01:42]

Free and equal blues[00:01:44]

So I stayed at that St James Infirmary[00:01:49]

I couldn't leave that place it was too interesting[00:01:55]

So I said to that doc[00:01:57]

Give me some more of that scientific talk talk[00:01:58]

And he did[00:02:00]

He said Melt yourself down into a crucible[00:02:00]

Pour yourself out into a test tube and what have you got[00:02:02]

35 cubic feet of gas[00:02:04]

That's the same for the upper and lower class[00:02:06]

Well I let that pass[00:02:08]

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces[00:02:11]

In the looks countes to mountes[00:02:13]

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces[00:02:15]

Iron seven grains[00:02:17]

Not enough to keep[00:02:19]

A man[00:02:22]

In chains[00:02:24]

50 ounces of phosphorous whether your poor or prosperous[00:02:29]

Hey buddy can you spare a match[00:02:33]

Sarfe six orelen sweeving freedom arones[00:02:35]

Then you take 22 teaspoons of so dium cloride that's salt[00:02:38]

You add 38 quarts of H20 that's water[00:02:41]

Mix two ounces of lime a pinch of potash[00:02:43]

A drop of magnesia[00:02:45]

A bit of sulphur a soup'con of hydrochloric acid[00:02:47]

And you stir it all up what are you[00:02:50]

You're a walkin' drugstore[00:02:52]

An international metabolistic cartel[00:02:54]

And that was news that was news[00:02:58]

So listen you African Indian Mexican Mongolian Tyrolean and Tartar[00:03:01]

The doctor's right behind the magna charter[00:03:06]

The doc's behind the new brotherhood of man[00:03:12]

As prescribed at Gettysburg[00:03:16]

Iwo Jima at Bull Run and at Guadalcanal[00:03:18]

Every man every where is the same[00:03:23]

When he got his skin off[00:03:27]

And that's the news that's the news[00:03:31]

That's the free and equal blues[00:03:34]
