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 along the river

A certain woman in this 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 along the river, the river, 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 swing the blues

I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to feel low down

I gotta right to hang around

Down along the river

A certain man on this town

Keeps draggin' my heart around

And all I see for me

Is misery

I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan and sigh

Gotta right to sit and cry

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

I gotta right to sing the blues

I gotta right to moan and cry

I gotta right to sing the blues

Down along the river

I know the deep blue sea

Uh, that deep blue sea

Will soon be callin' me

Callin' me

It must be love, say what you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

It must be love, say what you choose

We gotta right to sing the blues, the blues

Oh, gotta right to sing the blues
