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

Written By：Josh White[00:00:02]

I went down to that St. James Infirmary[00:00:09]

I saw some plasma there[00:00:14]

I up'd and asked that 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 says A molecule is a molecule son[00:00:33]

And the damn thing has no race[00:00:37]

And that was news yes that was news[00:00:41]

That was very very very special news[00:00:45]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:00:48]

Free and equal blues[00:00:51]

You mean you heard that doctor declare[00:00:57]

The plasma test tube there could be[00:01:00]

White man black man yellow man red[00:01:02]

Well that's just what that doctor said[00:01:05]

So he put down his doctor book[00:01:09]

And he gave me a very scientific look[00:01:10]

And spoke out plain and clear and rational he says[00:01:12]

Metabolism's international[00:01:15]

And that was news yes that was news[00:01:17]

That was very very very special news[00:01:22]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:01:25]

Free and equal blues[00:01:28]

Then he rigged up his microscope with some royal [00:01:34]

Blue blood[00:01:35]

It was the same as Chun King Chatanooga-Timbuktu blood[00:01:36]

Those men think they know the corpuscle's global[00:01:41]

And international racial supremacy[00:01:44]

Flying in the face of old man chemistry[00:01:45]

Taking all the facts and trying to twist 'em[00:01:47]

But you can't overthrow the circulatory system[00:01:50]

And that was news yes that was news[00:01:52]

That was very very very special news[00:01:56]

'Cause ever since that day we've had those[00:01:59]

Free and equal blues[00:02:02]

So I stayed at that St. James Infirmary[00:02:08]

I couldn't leave that place it was too interesting[00:02:13]

So I said to that doc[00:02:16]

Give me some more of that scientific talk talk[00:02:17]

And he did[00:02:19]

He said Melt yourself down into a crucible[00:02:20]

Pour yourself out into a test tube and what have you got[00:02:22]

35 cubic feet of gas that's the same for the upper and [00:02:25]

Lower class[00:02:28]

Well I let that pass[00:02:28]

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces[00:02:33]

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces[00:02:38]

Iron seven grains not enough to keep a man in chains[00:02:40]

50 ounces of phosphorous whether your poor or prosperous[00:02:54]

Hey buddy can you spare a match[00:02:58]

For all nations[00:03:03]

Then you take 22 teaspoons of sodium cloride that's salt[00:03:04]

You add 38 quarts of H20 that's water[00:03:07]

Mix two ounces of lime a pinch of potash a [00:03:09]

Drop of magnesia[00:03:12]

A bit of sulphur a soup'con of hydrochloric acid[00:03:13]

And you stir it all up and what are you[00:03:16]

You're a walkin' drugstore An international [00:03:18]

Metabolistic cartel[00:03:21]

And that was news yes that was news[00:03:24]

So listen you African Indian Mexican Mongolian Tyrolean and Tartar[00:03:27]

The doctor's right behind the magna charter[00:03:34]

The doc's behind the new brotherhood of man[00:03:40]

As prescribed at Gettysburg Iwo Jima at Bull Run and at Guadalcanal[00:03:45]

Every man every where is the same when he got [00:03:54]

His skin off[00:04:00]

And that's the news that's the news[00:04:03]

That's the free and equal blues[00:04:06]
