This began (quite unbidden) while I was taking a walk the other weekend and passed by some newspaper racks, and I figure I should open it up to others to tweak or add verses, in the hope that a song written interactively by committee is a folk song by virtue of the folk-processing that goes on in its creation.


BUSHWAR BLUES
(with thanks to BOURGEOIS BLUES/words and music by Huddie Ledbetter)

Chorus:
(Lord) It's a Bushwar town, it's a Bushwar town,
Got the Bushwar blues, gonna spread the news all around
Me an' my country run all outta town
Everywhere we go, the people turn us down.

Fallujah's a town where you don't want to be
Shoot every soldier that they can see
Ch:

Some folk in Washington, think they know how
Set up a colony and see them bow
Ch:

Its the home of the brave, its the land of the free
I don't want to be mistreated by the bushwarsie
Ch:

A soldier said "I just serve my nation"
Put that one down under "Occupation"
Ch:
