Free and Equal Blues - Josh White[00:00:00]
I went down to that St James Infirmary[00:00:09]
And I saw some plasma there[00:00:14]
I ups and asks the doctor man[00:00:18]
Now was the donor dark or fair[00:00:21]
The doctor laughed a great big laugh[00:00:26]
And he puffed it right in my face[00:00:30]
He said a molecule[00:00:33]
Is a molecule son[00:00:35]
And the damn thing has no race[00:00:37]
And that was news[00:00:41]
Yes that was news[00:00:43]
That was very very very special news[00:00:45]
'Cause ever since that day weve had those[00:00:49]
Free and the equal blues[00:00:52]
You mean you heard that doc declare[00:00:57]
That the plasma in that test tube there could be[00:01:00]
White man[00:01:03]
Black man[00:01:03]
Yellow man red[00:01:04]
Thats just what that doctor said[00:01:06]
So doc put down his doctor book and gave me[00:01:09]
A very scientific look[00:01:11]
And he spoke out plain[00:01:12]
And clear and rational[00:01:13]
He said metabolism is international[00:01:14]
And that was news[00:01:17]
Yes that was news[00:01:20]
That was very very very special news[00:01:22]
'Cause ever since that day weve had those[00:01:25]
Free and the equal blues[00:01:28]
Then the rigged up his microscope[00:01:34]
With some royal blue blood[00:01:35]
It was the same as[00:01:37]
Chun king quebechef chattanooga timbuktoo blood[00:01:38]
Those men who think they're noble[00:01:42]
The corpuscle is global[00:01:43]
Disunite the racial supremacy[00:01:45]
Flying in the face of old man chemistry[00:01:46]
Taking all the facts and trying to twist them[00:01:48]
But you can't overthrow the circulatory system[00:01:51]
And that was news[00:01:53]
Yes that was news[00:01:55]
That was very very very special news[00:01:57]
'Cause ever since that day weve had those[00:02:00]
Free and the equal blues[00:02:03]
