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 a 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

You can say what do you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues

I know the deep blue sea will soon be calling me

It's my sweet love say want do you choose

I gotta right to sing the blues blues

I gotta right to sing the blues
