I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

Brenda Lee · For the First Time (w. Pete Fontaine) [Decca] [1968]

(H. Arlen - T. Koehler)



I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to feel low down

I gotta right to hang around down around the river

A certain man in this old town

Keeps dragging my poor heart around

All I see for me is misery.



I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan and sigh

I gotta right to sit and cry down around the river

I know the deep blue sea will soon be calling me

It must be love, say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues.



I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan and sigh

I got a right to sit and cry, down around the river

I know the deep blue sea, will soon be calling me

It must be love, say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues.



I gotta right, I gotta right to sing the blues,,,
