I Got a Right to Sing the Blues

I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan inside

I gotta right to sit and cry

Down around the river

A certain man in this little 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 inside

I gotta right to sit and cry

Down around the river

A certain man in this little town

Soon that deep blue sea

Will be callin' 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 cry

I gotta sit and sigh

Down around the river

Soon that deep blue sea

Will be callin' me

It must be love say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

There's nothing left for me

I'm full of misery

I gotta right to sing the blues
