Free And Equal Blues - Josh White

I went down to that St James Infirmary

I saw some plasma there

I up'd and asked that doctor man

Now was the donor dark or fair

The doctor laughed a great big laugh

And he puffed it right in my face

He says "A molecule is a molecule son

And the damn thing has no race "

And that was news yes that was news

That was very very very special news

'Cause ever since that day we've had those

Free and equal blues

I never knew that in a plasma

Test tube there could be

White man black man yellow man red

Well that's just what that doctor said

So he put down his doctor book

And he gave me a very scientific look

And spoke out plain and clear and rational and said

"Metabolism's international"

And that was news that was news

That was very very very special news

'Cause ever since that day we've had those

Free and equal blues

Then he rigged up his microscope with some royal blue blood

It was the same as Chun King-Moscow-Chatanooga-Timbuktu blood

Those men think they know the corpuscle's global

And international racial supremacy

Flying in the face of old man chemistry

Taking all the facts and trying to twist 'em

But you can't overthrow the circulatory system

And that was news that was news

That was very very very special news

'Cause ever since that day we've had those

Free and equal blues

So I stayed at that St James Infirmary

I couldn't leave that place it was too interesting

So I said to that doc

"Give me some more of that "scientific talk" talk

And he did

He said "Melt yourself down into a crucible

Pour yourself out into a test tube and what have you got

35 cubic feet of gas that's the same for the upper and lower class"

Well I let that pass

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces

Carbon 22 pounds 10 ounces

Iron seven grains; not enough to keep a man in chains

50 ounces of phosphorous whether your poor or prosperous

Hey buddy can you spare a match

The same for all nations

Then you take 22 teaspoons of sodium cloride that's salt

You add 38 quarts of H20 that's water

Mix two ounces of lime a pinch of potash a drop of magnesia

A bit of sulphur a soup'con of hydrochloric acid

And you stir it all up and what are you

You're a walkin' drugstore An international metabolistic cartel "

And that was news that was news

So listen you African Indian Mexican Mongolian Tyrolean and Tartar

The doctor's right behind the magna charter

The doc's behind the new brotherhood of man

As prescribed at Gettysburg Iwo Jima at Bull Run and at Guadalcanal

"Every man every where is the same when he got his skin off"

And that's the news that's the news

That's the free and equal blues"
