Artist/Band: Ray Charles
Lyrics for Song: I Chose To Sing The Blues
Lyrics for Album: 2 Cd Set: Here We Go Again / I Chose To Sing Blues [2010]



Now I could have been a gambler

'Coz I'm good with the cards

I could have been a lover

Breakin' other's hearts



And I feel so silly

Bettin' on the dice

And a lover seldom sees

The same girl twice



And that is why

(That is why)

Oh that's why I chose

(That's why I chose)

I chose to sing the blues, yes, I did



Now, I could have been a doctor

Helping the sick

I could have been a lawyer

But you know that ain't my stick



'Coz I feel so bad

If a patient didn't do well

And I feel just as bad

To leave a client in jail



And that is why

(That is why)

Oh that's why I chose

(That's why I chose)

I chose to sing the blues



Now a man has a lot

That he could present

Just to think

I could have been president



But I can't understand

What politicians say

So I wanna talk to you

In my own little way



And that is why

(That is why)

Oh

(That's why I chose)

I chose to sing the blues



Yes I did, friends

Don't you know what I mean

I like what I'm doin'



You know, I like the blues

Everybody understands

What I mean when I say



Something like this here

Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' 'bout

When I sing, yes, I did
