I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues

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 gal 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

(He's gotta right to sing the blues)

I gotta right to sing the blues

(He's gotta right to moan and sigh)

I gotta right to moan and sigh

(He's gotta right to sit and cry)

Sit and cryin' down along 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

The blues

I gotta right (the right) tonight (tonight)

I gotta right to sing the blues
