I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

I've gotta right to sing the blues

I've gotta right to feel lowdown

I've gotta right to hang around

Down around the river

A certain man in this old town

Keeps draggin' 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 callin' me

It must be love say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues



I've gotta right to sing the blues

I've gotta right to feel lowdown

I've gotta right to hang around

Down around the river

A certain man in this old town

Keeps draggin' 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

Soon the deep blue sea

Will be callin' me

It must be love say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues
